Fellow Rotarians and Visitors - Spring is in the air, people are getting their Covid vaccines,
we somehow survived an ice and snow storm, and some of us are putting in new flower
beds. We’re still meeting virtually via Zoom on the first and third Wednesday of each month.
The Club has completed the requirements for the District 5870 DAP Grant!! Thanks to all
who participated in this Rotary Club activity. We donated over $670 to Bagdad Elementary
School in Leander ISD. The student demographic are students who fall in the lower
economic area of society. The funds were used to purchase books for the school’ students.
With the assistance of the school librarian Sandy Liptak we were able to provide at least 2,
sometimes 3, books for each student. Over 300 books. Some members met to affix our
Rotary logo label on the books. Then a group of 9 members met at Dee’s house to put our
Rotary logo label on plastic bags which will be used for the individual student’s books to take
home. The bags were delivered to the school for a photo op with the librarian and the
principal. This was a joint Club project and thanks to all who participated. Be sure to check
our Facebook page for photos. Our Club RYLA candidates were interviewed and 2
candidates were chosen. This year’s RYLA camp is scheduled to meet July 4th through July
9th at McKinney Roughs near Bastrop. The Club will be cooking and serving breakfast on
Wednesday July 7th. The Club made a $100 donation to the RYLA Alumni Association. We
donated shoes for the Capps Care Program. A reminder that the District 5870 Assembly is
scheduled for April 10th virtually. You must register if you plan to attend. Our recent
meeting guests: Anne Duffy, City of Cedar Park Council Member and Mayor Pro Tem; Lulu
Jones, Sam’s Adventure Camp; Erland Schulze, Hope House in Liberty Hill; and Kate
Whitney, Williamson County Texas A&M University Agri-Life Extension. Great programs.
We welcome ALL VISITORS and new members who are interested in joining our club and
our Service Above Self. Thank you all for your support and commitment.

Here is one of our current, local charity groups that we endorse and help out with on a regular basis:

Reveal Resource Center

Food Pantry: The Reveal Resource Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to feeding families through both physical and spiritual resources! It takes more than one person to spread the message of compassion, and Reveal Resource Center cannot exist without the support of others!

Community Clothes Closet: If your Church, School, Business, Agency or Family would like to take action to eliminate hunger and provide resources for self sufficiency, you can support this ministry through the following areas: Canned Food, Clothing Drive, Monetary Donations and Volunteer work.

Distribution of food and clothing takes place on Mondays from 7pm-8pm and Tuesdays from 9am-12pm (volunteer shifts start 30 minutes before each time).

To learn more or volunteer, please visit their website: http://www.revealresourcecenter.com/

Come join us as we show the best of "Rotarians at work" by helping at Reveal Ministeries Food Pantry. For over 5 years selflessly serving over 200-400 families per week who find themselves in need.

Members of a Rotary Club are frequently asked "What is Rotary and why should I join?" Here is a short video answer to these questions. [click the box at the bottom right to enlarge the video]

Inaugural Programs of Scale Grant Honors Those Leading Malaria Treatment Efforts in Zambia

By building on a proven concept — such as efforts to stamp out malaria in Zambia — Rotary’s new multimillion-dollar Programs of Scale grants help make good better.

$15.5 million gift will fund new Rotary Peace Center in Middle East or North Africa

The Otto and Fran Walter Foundation has pledged $15.5 million to The Rotary Foundation to start a Rotary Peace Center in the Middle East or North Africa.

For more than 100 years, Rotarians have joined together from all continents, cultures, and industries to take action in our communities and around the world. With a commitment to achieving lasting change, Rotarians work together to empower youth, enhance health, promote peace, and most importantly, advance the community. While Rotarians can serve in countless ways, Rotary has focused it efforts in six areas, which reflect some of the most critical and widespread humanitarian needs:

Peace and conflict prevention/resolution

Disease prevention and treatment

Water and sanitation

Maternal and child health

Basic education and literacy

Economic and community development

To learn more about Rotary and its work in these six area, browse this website and/or visit the Rotary International website.
