President's Weekly Message
member photo
Rotarians!
 
Everywhere I look, I can see the beauty of spring blossoming around us. From bluebonnets covering fields to trees returning to life after such a hard end of winter. It is this breath of renewal that inspires many of us during Spring. Having said that, I am the first to admit that Spring is my 4th favorite season. Honestly, because Spring can't decide if it is hot or cold, rainy or dry, and it only shows me the weeds in my yard that got missed last year. But the new growth shows me areas of opportunity and excitement. And we have much to be excited about. 
 
This week and the past two weeks have brought me such a renewed appreciation for the season. As a Club, we are a force to be reckoned with. Honestly, we accomplish more than most businesses do. And we do it on the backs of our love of service and Rotary. I mentioned that I aspire for us to be a 100% club. That whatever we do, we do it at 100%. It's more than us just being a 100% Paul Harris Club!  I can't thank each of you enough for helping celebrate and finding the time, talent, and treasure to make it happen. 
 
This Friday is a true celebration of all our hard work. While DG Shannon will be in to talk about District Incentives and opportunities, she will also see first-hand a room full of Rotary Rock Stars!  We will have two new member inductions, two new full member recognitions, over 15 people will be recognized with their FIRST Paul Harris, names of those who have completed the Positive Peace Academy will be shared, celebrating an almost 100% sold out golf event, and witness beautiful smiles as we take our club picture! 
 
Arrive early for fellowship.  Stand a little taller ... we are the greatest Rotary Club in the World.  Let our service and passion pave the way for others! And please ... wear your Rotary pins and colors! 
 
See you Friday!

Looking Out for our Veterans
Looking Out for our Veterans


Eric W. Hohman ended his 15-year Air Force career as an elite Combat Controller. He earned two Bronze Stars, one with Valor for his actions during a firefight in which he and his team came under attack. “Sergeant Hohman’s courage under fire saved the lives of his Special Forces Team”.

After basic training, Eric entered the Security Forces career field. His first assignment was to the 95th Security Forces Squadron (SFS). As a Security Forces member, Eric completed five deployments to various parts of the world while finishing up his Business Management degree in October 2006. At the end of that month, Eric was accepted to enter the two-year Combat Control training “pipeline”.

His first duty assignment as a Combat Controller was to the 321st Special Tactics Squadron (STS) at RAF Mildenhall, United Kingdom. Eric deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. During his multiple combat deployments, Eric was the sole Combat  Controller responsible for all Close Air Support (CAS) during his Special Forces team’s combat operations.

After leaving the “operator” life, Eric ran for the 28th Congressional District. At the same time, Eric founded the “First There Foundation” as a result of his first supervisor/teammate (Chris “AZ” Rush) taking his own life six months after leaving the elite Combat Control Teams.

The First There Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) “whose mission is to ensure all Combat Controllers have a teammate to reach out to when life becomes difficult”. Besides taking care of teammates and our families, Eric wanted First There to shed light on the contributions and sacrifices Combat Controllers have made for our great nation since 1953.

Eric has recently joined Sport Clips in George Town, Texas where he is working alongside his friend and CEO Edward Logan. Together they are working on a special project to develop a “pipeline” for SOF operators to transition from the teams to the corporate world.

District Governor Shannon Coleman visits the club

Last Friday's luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club of Georgetown, TX was highlighted by the visit of our District Governor, Shannon Coleman. DG Shannon participated in multiple member recognitions during the program, as we welcomed new member Brian Harris, son of Past President Tim Harris, into membership. We also learned a lot about two of our recent new members, Joe Orsak and Jerry Huffman who gave their "classification talks" to the members, providing information about their backgrounds and interests.
 
Governor Shannon also presented recognition certificates to a whopping FIFTEEN of our members for achieving their first Paul Harris Fellow awards, to acknowledge their financial support of The Rotary Foundation.
 
DG Shannon took the podium as our featured speaker to give a short presentation about overall Foundation giving and how our members should support contributions to the Annual Fund at this time. With a few matching programs in process, and a very special "Raffle Mania" contest with some terrific prize packages to be awarded at the upcoming District Conference of Clubs, there are many reasons to give...giving that comes back to our District and Club to help cover costs with some of the local projects we choose to do.
