Diana Mendell, Mansfield, Receives the Rotary Builder Award
Diana Mendell is a fairly new member of the Mansfield Rotary Club having joined after moving to Mansfield from San Antonio.  A fellow Rotarian recommended Rotary to Diana as a way to give back to her community. 
 
Upon joining Rotary, her friend presented her with a Paul Harris Fellowship to celebrate her involvement in the club.  Since then, Diana has jumped in with both feet and without asking how deep the water is.  In her first year, she took charge of the silent auction held in conjunction with the club’s first Casino Night fundraiser, and she created a fantastic team that resulted in a very successful auction. 
 
As she entered her second year of Rotary membership, she accepted the position of Community Service Director without hesitation and again without asking how deep the water is.  As a director, she is working to maintain and grow the club’s current community service programs. She is also working to extend the club’s reach to the Mansfield ISD Phoenix Academy to provide a new level of support to its students. 
 
Diana is an enthusiastic member of the club.  When she takes on a project, you can count on her to get it done at a very high level.
