Club Meeting for Thursday September 21st

During our meeting last week the consensus was we wanted the weekly meeting for Rotary to startup and continue with a modified format. To this end:

Meeting Day and Time:	Thursdays at Noon
Meeting Place:	Coldwell Banker office Conference Room (Terri's Office) 404 Broadway (across from Chamber, beside Women's Club)
Weekly Program:	Ways to Provide Service in Community Distribute the funds donated to the Club and District

It will be a brown bag, bring your own lunch meeting. If you know of another meeting place that could be more permanent, please check its availability and share at the meeting. The Rockport Country Club was extensively damaged and anticipates 9-12 months before opening. Speakers will start again after we have a more permanent location and our community is a little more settled.

Support has been tremendous - Here's how to keep it going

Rockport, Fulton and Aransas County are Strong and Re-building. Many of our current successes are due to donations of services, goods and funds from others such as you. Yes, I am talking to all the clubs and districts who have reached out to myself and several other members of our club - Rockport Rotary Club.

As we are gathering ourselves, our families, our homes and businesses together - we realized you want to reach out with more than a phone call. We have a 501(c)3 foundation and are accepting donations. Your funds will go directly to Rockport Rotarians or members of our communities of Rockport and Fulton who have needs. 100% distributed - no administration fees.

Please send donations to:

Rockport Rotary Club Foundation
PO Box 66
Rockport, TX 78381

Please send an email to RockportRotaryTreasurer@outlook.com if you would like wire transfer information. We will have a button to make a donation via credit card placed on the website sometime after September 6.

A very eloquent statement from a Facebook post of a Rotarian spouse -

It was the first time I have watched the Weather channel with so much concentration. Instead of just playing it in the background from the safety of my home, getting up and doing dishes with Jim Cantore flying across the TV screen and shaking my head thinking "those poor people... in *blank* town"
No, this time I watched with unwavering attention, not sure I even blinked. It was MY town, and we were the "poor people" to which this was happening. Jim was flying across the screen near MY home.
When it was over, I was still watching, every photo, every live footage, every Facebook post. Just to see what we poor people had left. To see If I could make out anything standing to try and tell myself... see, it's not that bad. But Home is unrecognizable.
It is all so real.
It is our utter destruction, it is our mess, it is our town.
As much as I wish I could get back to work on Monday and just make a donation to "those poor people" from the comfort of my office. I can't. We can't. Because it is our time to rise.
Through the rubble we will rebuild. Once we are able we will start to repair and reconstruct our town and it will be great once again.
Thank you to all the brave men and women who stood guard whilst the storm bared down upon us. Thank you for all who are working tirelessly to begin the clean up process. So that we can all go HOME.

As we move into the next phase of Harvey (most of the immediate needs for supplies are taken care of), we are finding what would be most useful is a monetary donation for Recovery and Re-building. If you or your club has a particular passion – literacy, child care, scholarships, food banks, medical care, autism, child welfare, Special Olympics, etc. – please share with us and we will try to match your donations to our needs in those areas.
