Did you know that ... 

• We Host the Field of Honor® - This event is now just several days away!!!  The committee is working to make this experience wonderful for everyone! Please consider volunteering, purchasing your flags, or joining us for the upcoming BBQ! We also are proud to announce that R.O.C.K, OP VET, and Blue Star Mothers have been named as Beneficiaries of flag sale proceeds! Save the date for Saturday, November 5th as the "Tunnels to Towers" mobile learning experience makes its way down Austin Ave! Flag waving welcome!   

• We Are Throwing a Birthday Party - Happy 60th to Us!!  Our Club celebration is scheduled for October 21st at 11a. This will be a wonderful event celebrating our 60 years of service to the community! Save the date ALSO for December 15th for our Community-wide Celebration! Please contact Karron Wilson or Ron Swain to learn more!  We are also looking for nominations for our Annual Sam Brady Award (see Randy Mongold to learn more)!  

• We Love Socials - Over 150 Rotarians have joined us for our past three Rotary Club Socials!  These events are fun and family friendly. The highlight of these socials has been watching everyone mingle outside of our weekly meeting talking pets, spouses, passions, and most of all: making new friends!  
   

• We Are Officially A ROTARY PEACEBUILDING CLUB thanks to the efforts of our Racial Unity and Peacebuilding Committee. In Oct 2022, our Club was the first in Central Texas to be named with this distinction. We are also focusing our DAP Grant on creating peacebuilding gardens. We planned for 10 gardens and we currently have 14 on the books for installation this year!  
   

Human Trafficking Awareness Opportunities - Who knew just 12 weeks ago the opportunities that would be presented to our Club? The opportunity to purchase the truck and trailer is one of those wonderful projects that just popped up! Many hours, lots of conversations, and much due diligence is underway. The Board will be looking to finalize this decision in the coming weeks. Please connect with Roger Chappel if you have questions.  

Service is Very Much Alive - We have built two ramps for individuals who lost their mobility. Additionally, with DG Shannon we helped feed 800 youth for a weekend. Such powerful service work and a great way to leave our Rotary promise.  

WOW!  You can clearly see that this Rotary Club of Georgetown TX is one Club that believes that Rotary Happens!  

This upcoming year, Rotary International President Jennifer Jones has given us the theme to Imagine Rotary.  We ask that every Rotarian or community member reading this message Imagine a Georgetown WITHOUT Rotary: those bullet points and milestones up above would all quickly go away. That idea just hurts my heart, with so many that need our service and no Rotary Club to step up. 

Now, Imagine Georgetown with you doing "more Rotary". If you are new, imagine joining the best group of do-gooders in Central Texas.  If you are a member, try serving on a new committee or take on a leadership role. Rotary will give you what you give it. Take that feeling of charging the mountain and not stopping until we have done so much good you can't stop smiling.  THAT IS ROTARY.  That is why this Club strives to be the Service Center of the community and truly makes ROTARY HAPPEN! 

BRING ON THE NEXT 12 WEEKS!
