Fellow Rotarians and Visitors - The holiday season is upon us, crazy and unlike anytime that we have seen. Please enjoy these times and be safe as you gather with family and friends. We all are looking forward to a better New Year. Especially with the new vaccines. We are well into the Second Quarter of this Rotary year and we've been busy. We continue to support Reveal Resources in their outreach to the communities of Cedar Park and Leander and surrounding area. Especially during the Thanksgiving holiday. Some Club members have volunteered to "Ring the Salvation Army bell" at Walmart on Walton Way. The books purchased with our DAP Grant for Bagdad Elementary have been received, some members affixed the Club label on them, and Dee Thomas delivered them to the school! We assisted in the Guinness World's Record Largest Diaper-Roll Cake, sponsored in part by Reveal Resources. A Rotary Interact Club has been certified by Rotary International at Leander High School. The school faculty advisor is working hard to recruit members. Our Club is sponsoring a local high school student who is applying for Youth Exchange Program. Earl Follis is our Club's newly appointed Rotary Youth Exchange Officer, and Earl has extensive knowledge, experience, and interest in this endeavor. Exciting stuff!

Recent Guest Speakers - Tabitha Sparks, Rotary International Annual Fund Giving Officer for Texas Rotary Districts; GeorgeAnn Duron and Kasey Redus, Forward Thinking Women; and Major Lewis Reckline, local Salvation Army.

We welcome ALL VISITORS and new members who are interested in joining our Club and our Service Above Self.

Thanks,

Woody

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.

The Rotary Club Cedar Park- Leander has a new Fundraising project.

Accepting orders now through Nov. 25^th. Delivery Dec. 3^rd!

Proceeds help our Club to sponsor LISD literacy programs, Reveal the Food Bank, and other local/national projects.

In a time of social upheaval, where should America go?

Chicago Rotarian Xavier Ramey says the key to creating an equitable society is understanding where we’ve been.

Help on wheels

Maternal health projects give Rotary clubs in Uganda a sense of purpose during COVID-19 restrictions

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.
