Tonight (Aug. 14) we’re packing snack bags for school children who need nutritional assistance during the school year. We will assemble approximately 400 bags this go ’round at Diamonds & Designs, 2200 W. Park Row Drive, at 6:10 p.m. I need to know who’s attending, so please e-mail me at workoutdan@aol.com. We will arrange food and divide the cost. Goals time. Over the next quarter, we have priorities ... 1. Recruit! We need more hands to do the good work of the club.
2. Initiate our District Grant project – snack bags for schoolkids.
3. Establish our Vocational Recognition program for Pantego first responders. Rachel Barr has already prepared a letter.
4. Meet with Fort Worth East Rotary to plan the Heart of Peace Concert. We need a process to sell more tickets.
5. Build a structure for chartering and obtaining members for our new community-based Rotaract club.
6. Plan a variety of service projects for our Service Weeks.
7. Examine ways to support the Rotary Foundation Annual Fund and End Polio Now.
8. Prepare for the Four-Way Test speech contest.
9. Prepare for our veterans projects (yes, more than one). These are ways we can challenge ourselves and show prospective members that we are an active club. Now let’s hear from Judith Scott on "Why I said yes to Rotary."
I was born into a family with a history of service that had been passed down for generations. Growing up, I was surrounded by examples of people engaging in “service to others” activities. My grandfather was active in politics, a 32nd degree Mason and an elder in our church. My uncle was a business owner who served as the fire chief for our small town’s Volunteer Fire Department and was a member of the Lions Club. My aunt was a charter member of the Junior Auxiliary, and my mother was president of her Eastern Star chapter. As a young teen I joined Rainbow Girls. This was my first service organization, but certainly not the last. I served as president of the League of Women Voters, voter precinct chair, a member of the Mental Health Association Board of Directors and on the Board of Directors for the Symphony League. The ’60s was not a time when women in the South were usually a part of the Lions Club or Rotary International. Thank goodness we have come into the 21st century! When we moved to Arlington I applied for a slot in the Leadership Arlington class and was accepted. There I met several Rotarians, and I began to inquire. I was fortunate to be asked to become a charter member of the Sunset club. Our club was limited in financial and human resources, but we were a vibrant and energetic group committed to promoting the Service Above Self values and activities of Rotary. I am glad I found a service club like Rotary to join. I look forward to helping our Arlington Great Southwest Rotary continue to grow strong and be involved in service to our community and the world. Calendar • Aug. 21 – TBA
• Aug. 28 – FORK, Nelda's Tex Mex Cantina, 2230 W. Park Row Drive Of the things we think, say or do … 1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

District Governor Sharron Miles presented our Club last Wednesday with the RI “Every Rotarian Every Year Banner”. AGSW for the 2010-2011 Rotary Year was one of only approximately 1500 clubs of the 34,000 clubs worldwide to receive this honor. Four clubs in District 5790 received the honor. Our contributions to the Rotary Foundation averaged at least $100 per member and we had 100% of our members participate. Past President Joan Hanak offers her sincere thanks to each and every club member for their support of the Rotary Foundation.

Last Wednesday, Julie and Gladiola offered an excellent recap of their exciting adventures during 2011 RYLA in Denton. From skits to tree plantings to mock city council meetings to formal dinners, they really put a lot into--and got a lot out of--our sponsorship of their attendance. Unfortunately, Tech Le could not offer his thoughts because he was busy getting ahead in summer school.

“Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.” Will Rogers
Our new Rotary Year is underway, as we begin to build up our membership to its past glory. At our Club Assembly last week we mapped out a course for us all to strive to attain in making this year shine.
Our program for this week is the RYLA students presentation on their life changing experiences at the last RYLA conference that our club provided by our Rotary Youth Leadership Award scholarships to the three lucky students. Sam Houston High School students Gladiola Quinones, Tech Le and Julie Sutton will provide illumination into the leadership skills they developed at the RYLA conference. Don’t miss this program that is valued by our members as a vital part of our community youth services as evidenced by our survey respondents.
Next week July 20th Rotarian Joy Griffin will provide a Community Health Needs Assessment of Arlington Memorial Hospital (aka Texas Health). This is the hospital where both of my sons were born and where I have received many stitches in the ER. It is vital resource to serve the needs of the citizens of the northern sector of our city.
The thoughts and prayers of our members go out to the family of Ranger fan Shannon Stone who tragically died in a fall accident at the Ballpark. May God rest his soul.
Sincerely,
Brian Cotter, RLA, ASLA

We are very happy to announce that we have selected three juniors from Sam Houston High School to represent Arlington Great Southwest Rotary at RYLA this year. The students are Gladiola Quinones, Tech Le and Julie Sutton. We will have an opportunity to meet these impressive young people during the summer as they visit with our club during a Rotary Wednesday meeting to share and discuss their experiences with us. Please make sure to mark your calendar when a date for their presentation has been finalized.
RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is an international event, organized at the district level, which provides our young leaders an opportunity to experience an intensive leadership development program over three days during the summer. For more information, visit Rotary District 5790’s webpage at http://www.clubrunner.ca/Portal/Home.aspx?accountid=50068.
