. Welcome to the Flexible, Friendly, Fun Rotary Family -
Rotary E-Club of Central Texas
Let's Celebrate Rotary Together!
We want each member to join us in celebrating Rotary Around the World. Put it on your calendar: June 28, Tuesday at 6:30 on zoom. You are invited to dress your favorite culture and have a meal to eat whether it is Mexican, Texas BBQ, Liberian speciality, Italian, French, Indian food - you choose your party! We will have our installation and enjoy each others company. We are excited to install our officers and new president, Twyla Weaver. Twyla wants everyone to be involved in the DAP Grant this year no matter where you live. Our DAP Grant money will be donated to food banks/pantry where Rotarians volunteer (which is one or the criteria for the DAP). So begin contacting a local food bank/pantry, volunteer at least one day. We will be having the mobile food drive again in the Austin area as well.

When you are named please forward me a picture and lots of information about you- like where you grew up, family, schools, career, hobies, Rotary service. We want to get to know each other. We would also like for you to do a "classification talk" at our monthly zoom meeting. Let's keep working towards getting to know each other better.
