On August 6th, District Governor; Beverly Luedke, made a visit to the Rotary Club of Georgetown to share her journey as a Rotarian. She outlined her expectations to the Board, presented excellent insight on being a Rotarian, and encouraged the group to embrace the gift of the Rotary International Foundation and the impact the club can make around the world.
We welcome all members and non-members to join our meetings and learn more about Rotary and our Club. We are meeting live virtually on Fridays at 12:00 PM during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dear Rotarians,
It is an honor to serve as the Rotary Club of Georgetown President for the 2021-2022 year. This past year has been nothing but ups and downs for all. Having shadowed a great President last year, I was reminded of the fact that we have to be nimble; selfless serving, and willing to adapt to change. If you can define a Rotarian, that is it. One thing constant is change; we are conforming to virtual presence, less gratifying than anything we have been used to; but potentially more fair to all concerned.
As we are almost through the second month of this Rotary year, our club is gaining new members, is serving through many happy dollars, two major group events amongst them, and the virtual world beyond. I look forward to celebrating all that was accomplished last year, thanking each of you for your continued support through the transition to new leadership, and welcoming the opportunity for this future year.
"What happens when neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, make connections and take action to create lasting change in their local communities and around the world?"
That’s right. Rotary Happens; and we are here to Serve to Change Lives!

Best Personal Regards,
Nathan

On Friday, August 20th; John and Becky Sloan and Will Williams presented a $7,000 check to the Rotary Club of Georgetown that will help fund the cost of the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall that will be a new feature at the 5th Annual Field of Honor. This generous contribution is greatly appreciated!
Ron Swain, Elizabeth McFarland & Henry Yu have been working diligently over the past three weeks assessing the needs of our community and determining the best way for our club to support our community in its greatest time of need. They are almost finished with their assessment. They will soon be presenting their findings to our Grant Committee and requesting a Special COVID-19 Grant from The Rotary Foundation.

On a cold and blustery morning in January, a group of dedicated Rotarians and friends visited Pflugerville to build a much needed ramp for a disabled person. Overnight rains and dog deposits made the effort a little more challenging. By noon, a fifty-two foot ramp was completed.
The Georgetown Rotarians of George Lourigan, Larry Baird, Cris Cash, Glenn Beck, Henry Yu and Denis Pepin were joined by new helpers Tim and his son Jack (old military friend of George) and Pete and Mickey (neighborhood friends of Denis). It was nice to have newbies fit right in and make meaningful contributions to our build...many thanks for their participation.
The build was part of the continuing programs of Texas Ramp Project that provides custom built ramps for those with special needs. The Georgetown Rotary Club is committed to a monthly build program.
