First, I pray everyone is in good health and enjoying a very special Easter weekend.
 
Together we are going to get through this. 
 
Yes, we are just at the beginning of what is expected from COVID-19.
Yes, COVID-19 is and will affect all our lives.
Yes, we need to make changes. (Physical Distancing, Wearing a Mask in public, Avoiding situations where we may spread or catch COVID-19)
Yes, we will probably know someone (Family, friends, associates, Rotarians, acquaintances, etc.) who will contract and /or lose their life to COVID-19.
Yes, we have never experienced anything like this in our lifetime.
 
It is in these times, more than any other time, that we need to stay connected to each other and support and help each other in any way possible,
 
Yes, these are the times when, instead of hiding, we learn new ways to connect with each other.
Yes, these are the times when we pick up the phone and connect with those we have lost touch with.
Yes, there are the times when find those in need and meet their needs.
Yes, these are the times when true Rotarians rise up and make a difference in their community and around the world.
 
I challenge each of you as true Rotarians to rise to the challenge presented by COVID-19.
 
Together we are going to get through this.

Build in the Bog
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.

CHALLENGING RAMP BUILD
Posted by Denis Pepin on Oct 27, 2019
On Saturday, October 26th, an intrepid band of Georgetown Rotarians and Interact members tackled a very challenging ramp build for Kathy, whose access to and from her home was hindered by the lack of a suitable ramp.
 
The site required a “custom design” caused by narrow passages and awkwardly placed support posts.  The challenges were all met in what turned out to be a six hour operation.
 
We are thankful for the efforts of Interact members Elizabeth, Emily , Jacob and Caleb and Rotarians led by George Lourigan and Cris Cash.  Significant engineering efforts were also provided by Glenn Beck, Alan Johnson, Barry Bowden and Denis Pepin.
 
The builds are part of the ongoing efforts by Texas Ramp Project to provide ramps for disadvantaged people.  The Georgetown Rotary Club has built over 65 ramps to date.
