Interact Training

Interact and Rotaract officer training will be held on Saturday, August 11 from 9:00 until around 1:00. Lunch will be served, but not breakfast. There will be sessions not only for the Interact and Rotaract incoming officers, but for sponsors and advisors as well. This is a wonderful training and gets the year off to a great start. Clubs, please encourage your Interacts and Rotaracts to participate, please. Training will be held at Lone Star College in The Woodlands.

The training will include a service project this year. We will raise funds to donate to purchase windows at an orphanage for disabled children in Nicaragua. Each window costs $90. Students need to bring change to play a game, and that change will be donated to the orphanage. Clubs, if you would like to sponsor a window, please send your donation to Vidor Rotary Club, PO Box 10, Vidor, TX 77670.

SPECIAL NOTICE ABOUT DISASTER RELIEF FUNDS:

Money is still available in the RI Donor Advised Fund as well as the District Foundation for Harvey Relief, so please fill out a Harvey grant application and submit it. Money sitting in the bank is not doing people in need any good and we need to put it to work where it is needed.

Clubs which have received grant funds in the past from the District grant funds or the RI funds need to let Hugh Summers know how funds they received have been used as well as how pictures will be displayed in the House of Friendship at the upcoming District 5910 Conference in Palestine on April 27-29, 2018. Clubs can either put the information in the Disaster Relief booth and it can be posted at the club booth. Clubs which plan to have a poster with the report and pictures, Velcro display boards will be available in the Disaster Relief booth. Please notify Hugh Summers so the proper space can be allocated.

RYLA 2018 Recorded in History of 5910

RYLA 2018!

RYLA 2018 was "an experience I will never forget," said one person who attended.

"It was the best weekend of my life!"

"The only thing wrong with it was that it was too short!"

Photos taken throughout RYLA 2018 continue to be uploaded to a slideshow as we are able so you and the particpants can enjoy again and again. With appreciation, the majority of the photos shared here were taken by PDG Hugh Summers and Beaumont President Tim Sudela.
