This month will be something of a challenge due to the weather. Our trash pick-up on Huffmeister has been cancelled for Saturday due to the prediciton of heavy rain, so watch for information about when we will do this project.
CAM sneaked up on us this month due to the first being on a Thursday. Our Senior food boxes will need to be assembled Friday, Jan. 15th. Please come to CAM at 4:30. Also, according to their marquee, they need jelly. Often the special diets require sugar free or low sugar jelly, so include some of that.
Justin has some great speakers lined up, so if you haven't been attending meetings, you should try to make the next ones. Next week will be a retrospective on Martin Luther King in honor of MLK Day. The following week we have Danny McGrane to talk about NATO. This is a good time to invite visitors since we do have some great programs scheduled.
We have several prospective members. Larry Cockman has applied for membership. Larry has a shredding business, Texas Security Shredding, and does a great job according to Glen. Debbie Youens is a realtor with Texas Heritage Properties who is currently vice president of Katy Rotary Club, but her business relocated in the Cypress area, so Katy's loss is our gain. Please make her feel welcome. Robert Fugarino is awaiting induction. We had another visitor who expressed interest as well, Kyle Nearhood. If anyone got his email address, please contact him and tell him we look forward to having him visit again. Rich Houser seems to like visiting, so maybe he will be a possible member as well.
The District is encouraging us to participate in the Extreme Makeover Home Edition that is taking place in Kemah right now. If Rotary can collect enough money in the next few days, we can be featured giving the family a check to pay off their old mortgage. This family has been in the Chronicle. They take in foster children and have nine children at the current time including 4 of their own. They truly seem to represent "Service Above Self."
Don't forget about the $20 raffle tickets for the 2010 Prius. The district is counting on us to sell those before District Conference. Glen gave them out two meetings ago.
Vickie Botkin sent out invoices this week. Everyone needs to get those paid so that you can remain a member in good standing. You can pay with a credit card or Paypal, so please take care of this asap.
