District 5790 offering "BRAG" Tables for clubs to INSPIRE each other
Bring your Texas Brag to the Club Leadership Training Assemblies

"Be the Inspiration". This year at our 2018-19 Club Leadership Training Assemblies on April 21st in Fort Worth and April 28th in Graham, we are encouraging our Rotary Clubs to "Inspire" each other.


Of course, being Texan's we love to BRAG. Right? We do everything bigger, better, faster, smarter and so on. Dizzy Dean used to say, "it ain't braggin if you kin do it".

And since you've proven you can do it, we would like you to inspire others to do it. Do you have a project you would like to promote? Are you looking for partners for a grant project? Do you have a fund raiser you would like to promote? Or, have a really cool fund raiser that other clubs could adopt? Or, perhaps you have a story board that shows all the great projects and programs your club is doing? Whatever your club is doing that is great information to share or participate in...BRING It...BRAG ABOUT It and share it with Rotary members throughout District 5790.

STILL GOING STRONG

The Rotary Club of Arlington is only five years away from turning 100, but it’s not your grandfather’s club. It doesn’t fit the old stereotype of a bunch of elderly, suit-and-tie white guys who mainly meet for lunch once a week.
No, it’s not your grandfather’s club … except when it actually is.

A Message from Global Scholar Danny Vegel
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
