📣 MY FELLOW ROTARIAN,
🎤 UPCOMING SPEAKER – AUGUST 22
Tomorrow, we have Andy Hagan, District Membership & RLI Chair and Rotary Club of Brownsville Sunrise member, introducing us to the Membership Olympics—a high-energy initiative designed to reinvigorate and expand our club. Expect great insights, friendly competition, and actionable ideas to welcome more Rotarians into our ranks.
SPEAKING OF MEMBERSHIP "OLYMPICS"…
Darla is on a winning streak! She’s truly on "track," collecting over $230 in donations from friends, family, and colleagues, then turning that support into groceries for the Loaves & Fishes food drive!
Let’s keep the momentum going. Please bring canned goods to this Friday’s meeting. Whether small or large, every single contribution adds up to meaningful service that makes a real difference.
Prefer to help directly? You can also drop off donations at Loaves & Fishes, Harlingen: 514 S E Street, Harlingen, TX 78550
