A gift of $50 helps provide a personal water filter, offering simple, sustainable access to clean water in places like rural Guatemala. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people — children, families, and entire communities — benefit from projects funded by The Rotary Foundation. For #GivingTuesday on 2 December, Rotary invites you to consider how your gift can help the Foundation continue to create positive, lasting change.
1500 tickets will be sold for the Luxury Sports Vacation benefiting The Rotary Foundation. Do you have yours yet? The odds are better than you can get anywhere. Better than Vegas!

Please join me in congratulating Rotarian Langford Sneed on receiving the Unsung Hero Award at the EDGE Luncheon on Wednesday. Langford joined Richardson East in 1989, and he has maintained perfect attendance since that time. He has served in countless officer positions for the club including Treasurer, Sergeant-at-Arms, Community Service Chair, Vocational Service Chair, and Program Director and International Service on two separate occasions. Over the years, he has owned a Hunter Fan Store, a garage door company, and a gift shop, all while continuing his chosen career as a pharmacist. He takes care of our club members' medical ailments with his back home remedies and can fix a garage door almost immediately. Langford is always there whenever he is needed. To quote another one of our outstanding Rotarians, Wendall Ritz, "Langford is Superman and the Flash all in one - a Marvel Character."
Congratulations, Langford! You are appreciated and respected for your exemplary service above self!

Dear RERC members. Please note that there is a new "widget" added to the website and bulletin. Currently there are 3 pages added: Small Groups Fall 2014, Scholarships 2015 and RERC Buddy introductions. These pages give us a better possibility of grouping "longer lasting" items together on our website. On the scholarships page we will keep track of our scholarship recipients and have the ability to direct applicants for more information. The buddy pages is a new addition to our web site and I am asking all of you to write a story about your Rotary buddy (by interviewing them), first out is Wendall with his introduction of Faye. In the Small Groups section we will keep the stories from the small groups as well as pictures.
