One thing I have noticed while visiting Rotary Clubs in District 5840 is how involved and motivated Rotarians are with Service Projects. Each Rotarian makes a difference in our communities with the power and energy to change the world which is reflected in the service projects. It is an honor to say “I am a Rotarian” knowing our District contributes so much to improve the lives of others with a Service-Above-Self attitude.

In response, and in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Uvalde, our Rotary District 5840 has set-up a Uvalde Community Relief Fund within our 501c3 foundation. The purpose of this fund will be to assist and comfort, where possible, those who are grieving and who are most affected by the shooting as well as to aid in the restoration of the shattered world view of the children, families, educators, and first responders of Uvalde.

Tragedy has struck Uvalde, Texas on the eve of Uvalde Rotary Club's 100th year celebration! This has happened in OUR District 5840. Let us, as Rotarians, do what we DO best! We still are left in the dark regarding most of the goings on in that small town, but, need to keep Uvalde Rotary members, their families, the Uvalde Community, Law Enforcement, Medical Personnel, and sadly, the family of the perpetrator in ongoing prayers. We will keep all of you notified of anything that we learn. IMMEDIATE NEED: BLOOD donations. The Regional Blood Bank was already depleted. Desperate need for BLOOD Donors. If all Rotarians in our District, who are able, can immediately go DONATE BLOOD this would be a blessing. Long Term: We need to look at ways to support Uvalde children and Uvalde Rotary with cooperative grants, programs and projects. There will be a community prayer vigil tonight (5/25/22) at the Fairplex Event Center at 7:00pm. Further information will be sent out as we learn more.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! May's theme is Youth Service Month and for many of you, your Youth Projects are coming to an end as the kids prepare for graduation and look forward to summer vacation! It is an exciting time! I spoke with a class of 2nd Graders and 3rd Graders yesterday about Water Safety and staying safe around the water! We read together information from the Josh the Otter program which has been endorsed by Rotary International. It was a great time, with excellent readers and singers in Harper ISD. Rotary Youth Exchange is back for the 2022-2022 year! How exciting to send our youth abroad and at the same time host high school students from other countries to get a taste of South Central Texas Rotary Clubs. I know that all the clubs participating and their host families and outbound students will have great stories to share. What better way is there to promote Peace than to experience another country's culture through the eyes of a student? Kudos to our Youth Exchange Committee for all their hard work interviewing and training both outbound & inbound students as well as host families. They are all truly silent Heroes to all the kids who participate as without them, this program would not happen!!

A fabulous new festival for Fredericksburg! Rotary’s June event will showcase local hospitality, Texas craft beers. Mark your calendars and get ready to wet your whistle on June 10-11 for the first Fredericksburg Craft Beer Festival. This event is sure to become another of this town’s incredible attractions for fans of the suds. Fredericksburg’s history with beer goes way back, with a brewery being established way back in the early days of the Nimitz Hotel. Others remember sidling up to the bar at the old White Elephant Saloon and ordering beers.

Our March Rotary Theme is Water & Sanitation. There are many Global Grants that address this critical issue all over the world and right here at home. As Rotarians know, these grants can be completed in any country of the world, as long as there are at least two Rotary Clubs willing to donate funds, which can then be matched through their District and Rotary International upon approval. District 5840 has been a partner in several of these types of grants. If your club is interested in getting involved with a Global Grant which is focused on water and sanitation, check out www.myrotary.org to find an international partner who wants to help make the dream of safe water a reality. There are also Rotary Action Groups you can support. These are listed on www.MyRotary.org too!

Several of you have asked about what Rotary is doing in support of the humanitarian crises brewing in Eastern Europe. Here’s what’s been released so far: - Rotary is in contact with the United Nations High Commission on Refugees – USA to prepare and respond to the needs of those being displaced in Ukraine and to neighboring countries.
- ShelterBox, our project partner for disaster response, is in communication with Rotary members in Eastern Europe to explore how it may offer support with temporary transitional housing and other essential supplies.

An important goal to a Club is to achieve geting media attention for their upcoming fundraiser/service project. The first step is to create a press release. Once developed, it is your "bible" for the language that is used for your website, social media and flyers. Rotary Rockstar Challenge - Level 5 is about how to create a Press Release.

December is Disease Prevention & Treatment Month. What a great time our clubs had in October coming together to raise funds for Polio Plus. Polio Eradication continues to be one of our main goals as an organization. Kudos to all the clubs that held a Polio fundraising event and/or helped to share information about this disease. Of course, COVID 19 is still out there, with new variants probable. Rotary supports the COVID 19 vaccine while still honoring an individual's right to choose. We are working with organizations across the world to help get the vaccine to all individuals in all countries. We have mourned the loss of friends and family to this disease, but continue to work together as Rotarians committed to Disease Prevention & Treatment.

There are amazing Rotary Clubs and Members in District 5840! November is a great time to celebrate all the good works supported by the Rotary Foundation! I have often been asked "Why do you personally give to the Rotary Foundation?" The answer for me is very simple. I believe that Rotarians across the world are making a great difference by responding daily to the needs of their communities. Needs like clean water, food security hygiene facilities, schools, clinics, small business development and many more. I know that my donations to the Foundation are making dreams come true for millions of people! When natural disasters strike, I know that Rotary Clubs in that area are responding with basic needs and long term solutions. My donations are helping with emergency needs like food, housing and medical care, along with rebuilding communities.

October means cooler weather, falling colorful leaves, Rotary Economic & Community Development Month and, of course, World Polio Day, Sunday October 24th. Let’s talk Polio! We are literally so close to eradicating this disease. Only two (2) new cases of Polio have been reported this year from January thru September. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supports our efforts with a 2:1 match for every dollar we raise! Once again our goal for the US is $50M raised, for a total of $150 after matching funds!
