It’s mid-October and our Richardson East Rotary Club hit the reset button at Las Lomas! We enjoyed an evening of their excellent Mexican cuisine and engaged in spirited conversations. We are focused on driving the fund-raising for our newest Signature Project, Annie's Playground and scheduling our upcoming service initiatives.

We’re excited to be partnering with To Be Like Me for this month’s 5th Wednesday Volunteer Project and we’d love for you to join us!

Wow, 40 years, what a journey! Ted Ellis, one of our founding members, took us on a humorous trip down memory lane, chronicling the club's four-decade adventure. We’ve outlasted several restaurants along the way. In our typical fashion, we celebrated our history and community while tackling a new project. We're so thankful for the chance to serve alongside our friends and our vibrant community. Here's to another 40!
