Mid Cities Pacesetters Trinity High School Interact Club Selected as Best Interact Club
Posted by John Pokorny and Frank W. Allen on Jun 06, 2018
 
Congratulations, Trinity High School Interact Club
 
So, how does a high school Interact Club become an award winner?
 
By being an Interact Club whose members have a gifts to willingly share with the community. And that are mentored by and engaged with the sponsoring Rotary Club members.
 
As the webmaster of the District 5790 website, I had requested that all the 2017-2018 District 5790 award winning Rotary clubs send me photo's to include in a website story about the 2018 District Conference All Clubs Celebration district recognition awards. The Mid Cities Pacesetter Rotary Club one two awards including 1st Place in Vocational Service for medium size clubs. So naturally when they sent photo's they sent several photo's of the award winning Trinity High School Interact Club. As I reviewed the photo's I was struck by how engaged the Mid City Pacesetter members were with the members of the club they were sponsoring. At that point, I decided to do a separate story focusing on the Trinity High School Interact Club and their sponsor club Mid Cities Pacesetters RC. Club President Frank Allen was asked to prepare a short article about both clubs and their success. What follows are Franks article and several photo's from their very successful Rotary year.

District 5790 Recognizes our Vocational Hero's
Posted by Eddie Soleme on May 29, 2018
District 5790, once again, recognized vocations that live the Rotary moto, “Service Above Self.”  On Saturday, May 18, 2018, at the annual District Conference, awards were presented to a Teacher, a Veteran, a Police Officer and a Firefighter.
 
Clubs around the district recognized these professions throughout the year at their weekly meetings.  The clubs then submitted a nomination for each profession to the district for recognition at the district level.  Each of those nominations, from the various clubs, were compiled and presented to a panel of judges who then selected one person to be recognized for each profession.

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.

Meet District Governor Chris McLucas
Christopher J McLucas and wife Heather
The theme for 2017-2018 is the most simplistic theme in years to tell the world exactly what we as Rotarians in our clubs in concert with the Rotary International organization do in the world.
 
Last February, while at PETs each club president was provided with several changes to the manner and method by which Rotary Clubs can operate to work to increase and retain Membership. These times are exciting for Rotary members as each clubs leadership will be redesigning their clubs operating policies in order to improve the membership experience in their club while executing the same Service Above Self community service projects each club has become known to deliver. The key here is flexibility. Clubs will be designing club experiences that meet their community and member culture.
 
Improvements will also occur in the Rotaract, Interact and EarlyAct experience with these Rotarians of the future taking an active roll in each Rotary clubs experience.
 
From Heathers perspective, “the Earlyact program in Rotary a fantastic program and has the potential of spreading the word about Rotary to people that may never have known about Rotary”. Heather plans to work with clubs throughout the district to establish Earlyact Clubs in District 5790 during the 2017-2018 year.
 
Both of us look forward to a wonderful year.
