Service Projects Update

 Our first month of the new Rotary year is now behind us and we are moving quickly towards achieving our goals for the year!  A quick update on the Service projects committee…

 

 As you know we completed our first Ramp Project for a Killeen resident in need last month.  If you have not read the article written by the Killeen Daily Herald, please take a few minutes to do so—it is a powerful piece that truly shows how we made a difference in Mr. Garcia’s life by a simple gesture and giving a few hours on a Saturday.  Please feel free to share the article on social media to let others know what we are doing in the community.  This month we are building two ramps on August 27th and look forward to seeing you join us for a few hours and making an impact in someone’s life.  If you’re concerned about now knowing how to use a drill or hammer, there are other ways you can participate or you can even come out for the fellowship with great people.

 

Along with the two ramps being built this month, the Service Projects Committee will be finalizing the DAP Grant, signing an agreement to adopt a road/highway, and will be discussing volunteer efforts with the City of Killeen’s Community Services department.  We are looking for ways to continue making an impact in the Killeen Heights area and after meeting with the Community Services department, there are several opportunities to do just that.

 

If anyone is interested in joining me, I will be attending the City of Killeen’s Nonprofit Network Luncheon on Friday, August 19th from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM.  The luncheon will be held at the Killeen Community Center located at 2201 E. Veteran’s Memorial Blvd.

 

I greatly appreciate everyone’s help and support. Service Above Self!
