DAN AND KIM'S MONTHLY MESSAGE NOVEMBER 2018

On October 16th it was a wet rainy ride to Post Rotary Club. They were planning a social for November 13 at the Community Recovery Center at 6 PM. They are looking forward to pizza and popcorn while watching the movie "The Arroyo". President Linda Puckett was presented with the theme banner and DG Dan inducted new members Kaaren Huffaker & Susan McDonald into the club. Two unique fundraisers that Post Rotary Club host are Cooking On The Square at which members cook hamburgers or brisket during Homecoming festivities, and Smokin in the Park. This event is their major fundraiser and is a state championship cook off sanctioned by Lone Star BBQ Society. They average 30-40 cooking teams and pay out to the top 10 teams in July of each year. Another neat event they have hosted was a pool party to honor 1st responders in their community. What a great idea to honor those that serve and protect us.
After the Post meeting, President Linda Puckett invited DG Dan & Kim to visit the Garza County Historical Museum of which she is the director. A lovely museum...but we were particularly touched by the "hospital room" where a portable iron lung was on display. This iron lung was discovered while renovating the building which was the former hospital. The little girl in the pictures was a victim of polio and was from Post, Texas. Such a poignant reminder of why we keep pushing to rid this world of polio.

DG Dan & Kim visited Dalhart Rotary on Thursday, Oct. 4th. This was a busy club! They shared news of the XIT rodeo that the club helps with in August. This is a city wide reunion that celebrates the heritage of the XIT Ranch. Dan & Kim visited the XIT Museum which is something to see. In addition to the spectacular rodeo, live music, and many fun events, the city hosts the World's Largest free BBQ. The pictures of it in the museum are amazing. Rotary of Dalhart has it's hands full during that exciting Dalhart weekend with ticket sales etc. Dan & Kim hope to attend this event in the future.
Additionally, the club participated in packing snacks for kids (Snack Pak 4 Kids) in the school district that need food over the weekend. This was a great project that Dan & Kim got to participate in with members of the club. This was followed by a meet and greet social at the XIT Woodfire Grill.
Dan & Kim visited the club and new member Tami Moore was inducted. DG Dan presented the Rotary theme banner to President Sherri Haschke. Thank you for the southern hospitality Dalhart Rotary!

DG Dan & Kim visited the Levelland Noon Rotary club Tuesday, October 2nd. They enjoyed a wonderful lasagna lunch and Dan presented club president Landon McCormack with the District 5730 banner and the "Be the Inspiration" banner. The second picture is the board with DG Dan & Kim. The Levelland club will be working in a combined effort with the morning club to host a Home for the Holidays Arts and Crafts Show on Nov. 11 & 12. They are also planning for their Chili Supper coming up January 22nd. Most of the proceeds for these fundraisers go to support scholarships and Camp Ryla kids. This is the home club of AG Phelps Blume who was in attendance as well. Keep up the good work Levelland!!

DG Dan & Kim had a great meeting with the Snyder club. They are an energetic club that has both new and long term members. They have a very strong flag distribution program for 6 major holidays which raises money for projects such as Books for Babies, Dictionaries to 3rd graders, and to support other local humanitarian efforts. They were excited to learn about the success of Big Spring's club project "Pints for Polio" and are interested in working on a similar project for Snyder.
Pictured are AG Chris Atkinson, DG Dan and, Snyder club president Josh Ortegon.

It was a cold wet evening when DG Dan & Kim visited the Hereford Rotary club on Tuesday, Oct. 9th, but the fellowship and friendliness of the Hereford club was warm! DG Dan & Kim enjoyed hearing from the Hereford Rotarians during the evening social with spouses. This is a monthly occurrence for this club which they report has been a success for them in terms of getting to know each other. They have numerous projects and fundraisers coming up for their community such as Dictionaries for 3rd Graders, annual shoe give away in November for junior high students, and in January...their Crisis Center fundraiser which is a pulled pork dinner. This year they will also auction off a TV to raise additional funds for this worthy cause. Hereford Rotary also collaborates with other civic groups in town to better their community.
On Monday, Sept 24, DG Dan Linebarger visited the Big Spring Rotary Club. This was their 90th Year Anniversary. Under Hardy Wilkerson's leadership, the Club is growing! He inducted 7 new members (16 total new members since July 1). One of the new members was Heath Wilkerson. This induction created a unique membership of 3 generations in the same club. Heath's dad (Hardy Wilkerson) is the club president and his grandfather (Homer Wilkerson) is a member as well. There were 2 PHF's + 3 awarded: Cheri Sparks & Delbert Donaldson.

Paul Harris Society
The Paul Harris Society recognizes Rotary members and friends of The Rotary Foundation who elect to contribute $1,000 or more each year to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus Fund, or approved global grants.
The purpose of the Paul Harris Society is to honor and thank individuals for their generous, ongoing support of The Rotary Foundation.
Rotary districts often honor new members of the Paul Harris Society by presenting them with a certificate and chevron at a district or club event.
I participate in the Paul Harris Society because I care. These contributions demonstrate our commitment to serve others.
What your giving supports
By giving from your heart each and every year, you’ll support families and change lives. Paul Harris Society gifts have helped provide:

- Water filters, toilets, and hygiene training to prevent fluorosis, diarrhea, and other diseases in India
- A scholarship for a medical professional in Italy to research treatments that minimize mortality rates among premature babies
- Peace-building seminars for 200 teachers and 1,300 students in Uganda
- Treated mosquito nets and medical services that prevent malaria in Mali

One early June, more than 30 years ago, I had a business trip scheduled to Las Vegas. I had been a Rotarian for about six years, and I thought of myself as an active member: I attended every meeting, I’d served as club secretary, I knew everyone in my club. But for me, Rotary was very much a community organization. It connected me to Nassau and perhaps even to the Bahamas — but no farther.

Each club shall forward monthly attendance reports of its meetings to the governor within 15 days of the last meeting of each month.
Club Secretaries, through the District web site, can use the on-line database functions to report their club's attendance for the month by login in and selecting the Attendance option in the Launch Pad or from the Attendance Tab.
Rotary Showcase is an online application that allows Rotarians and Rotaractors to share stories of their clubs’ successful projects with people around the world. In addition, project stories are a source for features in Rotary International blogs and newsletters.
The Showcase’s Impact Tracker shows the impact of each Rotary project in terms of volunteers and volunteer hours, cash contributions, and in-kind donations. It also shows the collective impact of all reported projects.
Success stories posted on Showcase can serve as an inspiration and a model for other Rotary and Rotaractor clubs. Check out this "Impact Tracker" by clicking here.

"Rotary has a long way to go. One who thinks of the movement as a finished product is indeed short sighted; there is nothing in the past to justify such a view; those who have been long identified with it think of it as having made a beginning only; the grandeur of Rotary must be in the days to come".
