GOLD STAR RAMP

Posted by Denis Pepin on Mar 11, 2019

LMarch 9th was a special day for our Rotary ramp building crew. We had the opportunity to provide a new ramp for a Gold Star Mother, Brittany Forbes. Her new fiancée Gabriel has three children that face their own health challenges. It is fair to say that Brittany deals with daily issues that most of us do not have to confront so it is important that we are able to build the new ramp for their use.

As always, the crew was led by George Lourigan and Larry Baird. Along with newcomer Terry Folkerts, we thank Cris Cash, Glenn Beck, Henry Yu, Mike Sweeney, David Kellerman, Barry Bowden and Denis Pepin for their support of this program.

This building effort is the continuation of our Rotary Club commitment to the Texas Ramp Project...to build a ramp monthly for someone in need. Very soon, we will build our fiftieth ramp.

A message from your PR Chair

Posted by Denis Pepin on Mar 04, 2019

Dear Rotarians,

This message is to remind all of our members that we "all have access" to a very powerful tool called ClubRunner. We would urge all members to go to the APP STORE on your phone (or iPAD) and download the ClubRunner app (yes it is free). Once you login with your Rotary User name and password, you will be able to access a wealth of capabilities, most particularly detailed information about all of our club members.

ICE AGE at our 47th RAMP BUILD

Posted by Denis Pepin on Feb 10, 2019

February 9th, 2019 was a dank and cold morning in Florence, TX. An intrepid group of volunteers from the Rotary Club of Georgetown and Interact member Alexa (dad too), visited the home of Peggy Gayle to replace an aging, rime coated and dangerously steep ramp. After removing the old ramp and reconfiguring the deck area, the Rotary group set about building its 47th ramp. Numb, wet hands and muddy clothes became the order of the day.

This effort is a continuation of the ongoing alliance with the Texas Ramp Project where ramps are build for those with special needs.

I (EYE) Contact

Posted by Denis Pepin on Feb 08, 2019

On February 8th, our local Georgetown Rotary Club was the victim of a "full-on" frontal attack from Jim Comer, a noted communications consultant. His dynamic approach to teaching us how to "Harness the Power of Authenticity to Connect" was enthusiastically received by all attendees. He makes it clear that effective communication is critical to advancing your goals.

He provided anecdotal tips as to how to conquer the fear of public speaking. Start by "being yourself" and introducing your initial audience connection with a story. A key element was the use of "eye contact", ensuring that you are engaging your audience. Effective use of hands and movement around the setting ensures an entertaining delivery. And a smile always helps!

Jim has spent over thirty years as a coach and workshop leader, working with corporations, associations and professionals from a myriad of industries. His enthusiastic delivery is a treat to behold.

Rotary Supports Lions KidSight Project

Posted by Denis Pepin on Dec 11, 2018

On December 7, 2018, Hector Martinez of the Rotary Club of Georgetown presented a check to Maureen Kinald, Chair of the Lions KidSight Program. This donation will cover the cost of one of the digital scanners that they use to screen young children. Their mission is to ensure early eye screenings to detect vision problems before they become untreatable. Since 2014, the Lions of District 2-S3 have screened over 50,000 children in our local communities.
