Since 1995, the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi has proudly led this program for District 5930, serving more than 4,500 students.We were also honored to present Ralph Ehrlich with a Lifetime Achievement Award. During Ralph’s year as club president, two enduring initiatives began: RYLA and the Harvey Weil Conservationist Award. More than 30 years later, both continue to create opportunities, recognize service and strengthen our community—a remarkable Rotary legacy.Congratulations, Ralph, and thank you to Mary and Christine for continuing the work he helped begin.Want to be part of service that lasts?
