Lewisville Noon Rotary received recognition at the District 5790 Conference held on Saturday, April 27, 2019. Our club was cited as having 100% participation in 'Every Rotarian, Every Year', meaning that we average giving $100 each year per member Rotarian. It's a great accomplishment and a testament to the leadership efforts by our Rotary Foundation Chairman and President-elect, John Kazor (pictured to the left above). Melissa DeWitt, LNR President is pictured above presenting the banner to John Kazor. Well done, John!
We heard from our very own, Dennis Song, about CDB oil - what it is and what it's not. Judging by the questions asked at the conclusion of his presentation, there is a huge interest in knowing more about CBD oil and its effect on the body. Pictured above is Melissa DeWitt, LNR President; Kathy Song (Dennis' wife probably the boss at work AND home) and Mary Hunt, Dennis' store manager. Thanks for the valuable information!
Our very own Dr. Audrey Stansbury gave us a briefing on her amazing trip to Costa Rica to provide necessary dental care to approximately 80 persons over a 3-day period, This mission was conceived by our sister club, Lewisville Morning Rotary, and their team did some amazing work in the name of Rotary. Pictured above is Melissa DeWitt, President of Lewisville Noon Rotary, with Dr. Stansbury and she was able to present a club flag from Club Rotario San Pedro Curridabat to our club. Well done Dr. Stansbury, 'Service Above Self'!
Our Vocational Service Award was presented to Shari Mayes, a teacher and mentor at Lewisville High School. Ms. Mayes was named Teacher of the Year at LHS and is in the running for Teacher of the Year for LISD. Pictured above is Melissa DeWitt, Rotary President; Ms. Shari Mayes, Award Winner; and Dr. Jeffrey Kajs, LHS Principal.
We are thankful that member Ric Tolhurst brought this program on spine surgery to us at last week's meeting. The presenter explained various points regarding back pain and spinal alignment was of great interest to the club members present. I know that posture and my particular table improved significantly during his presentation. Pictured above is Melissa DeWitt, Rotary President; and Dr. Steve Tolhurst, spinal surgeon.
On March 27, 2019, Mary Jennings brought our program on the 'Circle of Friends' and the upcoming 'Grand Ball'. Rotary has participated monetarily and serves supper to students and parents for the past 25 years.
So grateful to have Gene Davenport and John Pokorny at last Wednesday's meeting to go over the results of the survey for our future strategic plan. There were some very interesting results of the survey and our club will need to analyze those results to decide what they mean to us for the future. Any member can see the results on our website by clicking the blue RESULTS button in the top right-hand corner of the opening page of our site. Thanks to all who participated!
Lewisville Morning and Noon Rotarians, joined by local community members, depart for the Tirrases province of San José, Costa Rica to volunteer at a local health fair.
Our own Dr. Audrey Stansbury DDS is part of this team.
