Fellow Club Members:
 
This month begins my Club visits.   I am looking forward to meeting with each club and discussing their goals and objectives for this year.  I always like to see how different clubs approach the same goals in many different ways.  I hope to share some of those ideas with others if they are looking for a new approach.  Please be sure to have your goals entered into Club Runner on the District website prior to my visit so we can discuss them when I visit your club.  If you have problems entering the information, contact Adam Lara for assistance.  Adam's email information is alara@nuduse.com.  He has volunteered to assist club's in the use of Club Runner and is a certified trainer for this.  Thank you, Adam for stepping up to assist the District with this important training.
 
In September, we have a wonderful opportunity to attend the Rotary Institute in San Antonio.  For those who are not familiar with the Institute, it is a meeting of 22 Districts from our Zone 21B and Zone 27.  This is an opportunity to hear what is happening in Rotary from the top management.  The Institute is usually only open to District management teams, however, this year it is open to all Rotarians.  This is a wonderful opportunity right in our backyard to find out more about how Rotary functions, to hear great speakers, enjoy good entertainment and fellowship.  For more information, check out the website www.rizones21-27.org.
 
In October, we are preparing for two training sessions for membership and The Rotary Foundation training.  The first will be held on October 17 in Kingsville and the second will be on October 24 in the Valley.  Exact locations, time and registration will be announced closer to the event but please put these dates on you calendar.

Southside Rotary Built Wheelchair Ramp for Woman in Need
The Southside Corpus Christi Rotary Club “Ramp Champs” donated their time and materials on Saturday morning November 1st to build a wheelchair ramp for Ms. Amalia Martinez at 4410 Green Grove Drive, Corpus Christi, TX who recently left rehab and needed a ramp at her house upon her return. Ms. Martinez was very independent prior to her injury and this ramp gives her back the quality of life that she was accustomed to. She was extremely appreciative of the Southside Rotarians building the ramp for her and tested it out after it was finished.

Southside Corpus Christi Rotary Welcomes District Governor
The Rotary Club of Southside Corpus Christi welcomed District Governor Art Zeitler and his lovely wife Carol on Wednesday October 15, 2014 at noon at the Corpus Christi Country Club for the annual club visit and members were inspired by the great talk they received from Governor Zeitler.  His message was uplifting and empowering to do Service Above Self and to spread the message of the good works Rotary does in the community and the world.  As a thanks for the visit, Southside Rotary President John Owen presented DG Art and Carol with certificates showing donations to polio plus in each of their names.  In addition, Gerene Beckley, daughter of Lt. Governor for Membership Debbie High, received a New Member Sponsor Recognition Program pin for bringing in a new member who happens to be her grandson!  She was very proud to receive this honor from DG Zeitler.  For more information on the Rotary Club of Southside Corpus Christi please visit our website http://www.southsideccrotary.org/ or “like” us on Facebook.
