She helps Rotarians in the Texas area motivate and inspire other Rotarians to support their club and The Rotary Foundation.

Announcements

Our Speaker for April 29th will be our very own member, Jesse Hauptrief. Jesse will be sharing about his work with a Disaster Relief organization. Jesse has been called out a number of times over the pass year to help with relief efforts. Jesse was involved with the Dallas Tornado that ripped through North Dallas. He also helped a number of Melissa residents that were impacted by the recent freeze and busted water lines.

Last week's actions

Last week we gathered to perform a service project. The club packed up 50 Veteran Comfort kits. These kits will be delivered to the District Conference to be combined with other clubs efforts. The Kits will be delivered to the Dallas VA hospital so that volunteers can pass them out to Veterans staying at the VA Hospital. Each kit will allow a Veteran to have Hygiene items to provide comfort and personal sanitation with dignity.
