OCTOBER 28 PROGRAM 

OUR TOPIC WILL BE “AUSTIN HONOR FLIGHT,” 

PRESENTED BY JOE BEAL & ROTARIAN ROBERT LINDSEY.

*****************************************************

The Club pulled off an enormously successful SHP bed build on Saturday!  Over 60 people showed up to craft 30 plus beds!  At least three Rotary Clubs, friends and family were represented, plus a service group of UT students and some other random “people of action" such as DG Todd Smith!

THANK YOU to everyone who came out on a rainy morning to make this happen.

 

We will be installing those beds in Bastrop County homes the weekend of Nov. 1-2.  

Look for sign up opportunities in a separate bulletin!!

************************************************

 

Adrianna Rodriguez, our presenter last week, discussed the new Bastrop  County Mental Health  Services program, “Credible Mind.”  The service offers connections to a variety of mental health support organizations, both within the County or in other locations.

Stories

Limited Time Paul Harris Campaign - Update 12
Seven (7) days to go.  We've come to the final week of the match. 
 
During the match's 84 days, 188 Rotarians representing 36 of our 55 clubs have pledged a total of $159,109!  We're averaging $1,894 per day!  Importantly, $147,504 (92.7%) has already been remitted.
 
Significantly, 111 of these 188 contributors have taken advantage of the match to either become a first-time Paul Harris Fellow or reached a new Paul Harris Fellow level by virtue of their contribution and its match.  And 5 have reached Major Donor status.  Congratulations!
 
If you're one of the 188 who has already contributed, thank you so very much for your generous contribution.  It's your contributions to the Annual Fund-SHARE that ensures District 5870 has the wherewithal to provide community DAP Grants, career and technology scholarships, district service projects and international humanitarian grants.  None of this would be possible without your support.

1st place:  Killeen Heights with 38 donors and a contribution amount of $37,700.  (We have a new leader!)
