As Rotarians, our work is not just about service; it’s about building a better, more peaceful world where every child, regardless of where they are, is protected and allowed to thrive. Let us unite our efforts and continue to spread the magic of peace in all that we do.
I invite you to join us at the Dreamcatcher Summit on September 21st in Laredo. During lunch, we’ll hold a special Peace Pole ceremony, symbolizing our commitment to creating a peaceful, polio-free world. Let’s stand together, united by our dreams and our love for humanity.
News Around the District
In early August, I had the privilege of visiting our Rotary friends in Bali, Indonesia. There, my husband and I participated in an environmental literacy project at a local elementary school—a beautiful reminder of how Rotary’s magic knows no borders.
This past month, I’ve had the honor of visiting clubs across our district: McAllen, McAllen Evening, Mission, Rio Grande City, Victoria, Victoria Northside, Portland, Corpus Christi Northwest, Jim Wells County, Downtown Victoria, Rancho Viejo, Historic Brownsville, and the Brownsville Sunrise Club. I also participated in the Adoption Awareness Picnic. Each of these experiences left me inspired and deeply moved by your dedication to service. You are the dreamcatchers, transforming dreams into reality, one project at a time.
Exciting News on the Horizon:
- October: We will be launching a poster contest for all our Interactors! Stay tuned for more details.
