July 21, 2016 Meeting

Garcia, Sir CassSir Cass will be our speaker at Thursday’s luncheon. He’s with EarlyAct FirstKnight— a program that we support at Travis Elementary.

EarlyAct FirstKnight® (or EAFK) is a powerful, daily character education program for elementary and middle schools, made available by The Knights of The Guild and Rotary. Created by Dr. Randall Parr and sponsored by local Rotary Clubs, EAFK creatively teaches and motivates students to become more civil, service-oriented people during their most formative years.

EAFK is unlike any other character-building program. Bringing together excellent academics, professional theater and practical guidance from one of the largest service organizations in the world makes character education fascinating for students to learn, easy for busy teachers to instruct, popular with parents, and amazingly effective.

While our Thursday meeting may not find its way into the history books, it serves as a reminder of what truly merits being recorded in history. Days like D-Day are worthy of remembrance and, more importantly, learning from. We are immensely grateful to our speaker, Dwayne Lee, for his inspiring presentation, “All Gave Some... Some Gave All.” His overview of the American Cemetery in Normandy, France, was not only informative but deeply moving. It was a presentation of great significance, reminding us of the sacrifices that shaped our world. A special thank you to our District Governor Zehra Surani for recognizing our club members who have generously shared their time and talents with Rotary. We also joyfully celebrate those cherished individuals who have been part of the Rotary family for over a decade, making a lasting impact with their enduring commitment. ... See MoreSee Less
