Kicking Off Phase 1 of Our District Grant Project!


On May 13th, dedicated volunteers from the Richardson East Rotary Club rolled up their sleeves for Phase 1 of our District Grant Project at the Methodist Richardson Hospital campus on Campbell Road. The team stained the gazebo, removed old metal edging, and tightened bolts on benches and tables—laying the groundwork for a refreshed and welcoming courtyard.

This is just the beginning! Thank you to everyone who came out to help—we look forward to seeing even more smiling faces as the project continues!

Rotary International Council on Legislation
Rotarians from all over the world met in Chicago, Illinois, USA, on 13-17 April to vote on proposed changes to the legislation that governs Rotary clubs. The representatives considered 78 proposals, such as:
  • Increasing the dues that all members pay to Rotary International
  • Allowing clubs to charter with as few as 15 members
  • Allowing districts the option not to hold a district conference
  • Allowing more governance model pilots beyond those being tested in districts in RIBI, New Zealand, and Australia
The Council meets every three years. Afterward, the general secretary issues a report on the actions taken by the Council. Clubs will have at least two months after the report is sent to submit their opposition. The council’s adoption of legislation is suspended if the measure receives opposition from clubs representing at least 5% of the votes all clubs are entitled to cast.
 
 
Proposed New Member - Christie Hanley
 
 
 
Christie was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, and received her Bachelor's degree from Texas State University.  She has been working at ServiceMaster Restoration for the past six years. 
 
Growing up, she played three different sports and still loves staying active, mostly by playing sand volleyball. One of Christie's biggest passions is traveling. She has been to ten countries so far.  She loves meeting new people and learning about different cultures.
 
Christie wants to join this organization because she deeply values community engagement and is interested in contributing to something larger than herself.  What stands out to her is our commitment to helping students attend college who would not be able to afford it without help. She sees this as an opportunity to be a part of a team that is truly making a positive impact.
 
Christie is excited for the opportunity to support our mission, grow personally and professionally, as well as to collaborate with others who are passionate about giving back. She really values being kind to others and tries to lead with that in everything she does. She truly believe there's still a lot of good in the world, and tries to be a part of it.
