Marking the Great Western Trail

Rotary District 5790 Making a Difference

It seems that Rotary District 5790 Rotary members simply can not stay out of the Rotary Magazine. Check out the December, 2017 edition. There is a great article about the Great Western Trail and Rotary member efforts preserve a bit of history. Rotarians from 3 countries led this effort to bring the overgrown trail back to life and install trail markers commemorating this wonderful bit of history. Fort Worth Rotary member Sylvia Mahoney along with several others on our district helped launch this effort which eventually led to hundreds of Rotary members from Mexico to Canada embracing the project.

Of course, if you have read the printed edition that came in the mail this week, you will also have seen letters to the editor section of the magazine the photo of a Cross Timbers Rotary Club board meeting and a cryptic suggestion there may be a future RI president in that crowd. Hmm...we can all say I knew them when.

A Message from Global Scholar Danny Vegel

Posted by Jim Giffin on Oct 24, 2017

a quick update and pictures from my time in China so far. I have reached the halfway point in my fall semester and I am really enjoying living in Beijing. My classes are very interesting and I appreciate the chance to hear the perspectives of my Chinese professors and international classmates. In addition, last week I received my household goods shipment, including the Southlake Rotary flags. Thank you very much! I will look for opportunities to visit more Rotary Clubs while I am in China.

Below, I have attached a few photos from my travels around China while I have had breaks from class. My sister and her fiance were even able to visit while I was on Fall Break.

Thank you again for all your help!

Very respectfully,

Danny Vegel

Second, Rotary International President Ian Riseley and his wife Juliet will be joining us for the celebration. As our keynote speaker, Ian will be sharing the inspirational news of Rotary making a difference. Yes, we do think BIG!

When it comes to our Silent Auction, think HUGE with over 130 wonderful items that will tantalize the tastes of even the most particular member of our Rotary family.

Speaking of taste, how about gourmet food served from several presentation and carving stations.

And, while you sit at a table with your best Rotary friends you enjoy some of DFW's finest entertainment.

For an Enjoyable

Evening

October Polio Update from Rotary International

Rotarians do a great deal of good in the world and being a world-class Rotarian includes not only local community projects, but also projects that are beyond the club level. The magnitude of these projects is so significant that the support of all Rotary clubs and allied organizations is necessary. Polio is such a world-wide humanitarian project. Since 1979, with almost 40 years of unswerving commitment, Rotary through Rotarians, is recognized as the world’s primary (non-government) lead organization to lead the way to eradicate “the world’s greatest crippler,” polio.

Our World Class designation is not just because of our substantial $1.6 billion financial support, it is also because of the 38 years of polio efforts from a world-wide distribution of members, and their influence with global leaders. It is also a reflection of a Rotary culture that began during the first 20 years when individual Rotarians and clubs funded and managed local Crippled Children Hospitals to help crippled as well as disabled children.

Polio update as of Oct. 13, 2017

Posted on Oct 14, 2017
