A Visitor From MMUN

Posted by Denis Pepin on Mar 24, 2019

Our club was recently blessed with a visit from Katelyn Illig, who was a recent delegate representing her local school at the Montessori Model United Nations program. She was joined by her grandparents and her father and her proud grandfather introduced her to the Rotary audience.

Just eleven years old, she amazed us with a presentation about her recent trip to the UN in New York, where she spoke to the international MMUN delegates in the main assembly hall. Not only is she a professional and gifted speaker, she is truly poised to be a leader in the future. Her special interest in math and science bodes well for positioning her for a successful career, perhaps as a scientist or a United Nations Delegate.

Her description of the delegate "consensus" process helped us understand that there truly is a common ground for us to get along in our world. It will be exciting to follow her progress and contributions to our future.

Rotary Recognizes VFW Post 8587

Posted by Denis Pepin on Mar 24, 2019

On March 22nd, the Rotary Club of Georgetown was visited by three members of the VFW Post 8587, led by Ray Sanchez. A check was presented by Dave Kellerman and Jeanne McClellan to recognize their continuing support for our annual Field of Honor event.

The VFW Post generously donates the use of their local hall where we assemble the flags for our Field. They are also represented by members of the Post that join us in the assembly process. Our club is most appreciative of their ongoing support of this special commemorative project.

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.
