As a Rotarian I am extremely pleased to be a member of the local Space Center Rotary here in the Clear Lake area. I am able to interact with a wonderful group of professionals and like minded individuals that believe in and enjoy giving back to our community.
Recently I was able to assist our youth exchange students on an out of town trip and was delighted to interact with two lovely exchange students, Julie and Hannah from Denmark and Sweden. Wonderful young ladies each full of excitement and genuine appreciation for the opportunity to be accepted as exchange students here. They spoke of their experiences in school, trips they've been able to experience with their host families and the studies they are engaged in. It was a wonderful experience to hear Hannah speak of how she wants to work in biomedical research and find the ultimate cure for cancer because the disease has attacked her loved ones and she wants to attack the disease right back!
I have been able to assist in a local shelter drive and provide clothing and tolietries for the homeless. I have been able to witness the generous monetary gifts given to local organization through the hard working fund-raiser efforts that the Space Center Rotarians participate in annually.
I also learned about fabulous programs like Shelter Box that Rotary supports. This organization send people and supplies to families located in areas of disaster around the globe. ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide.
I would like to invite you to share and help us give back even more to our community. May 17th we will be hosting our annual Springoree...our Spring Fundraiser to once again assist in raising funds to give to the many worthy organizations in our area.
