Rotary Club of Emporium
This month, we had our annual holiday party to celebrate the successes of the previous year and to enjoy each other's company. We thought this would be a good time to reflect back on some of the work we have completed in 2023. The Rotary year runs from July through June, so these are just a handful of the things we have worked on from July through December 2023: monthly box packing at the Cameron County Community Food Pantry, planting & watering the garden at the Guy and Mary Felt Manor, annual Rotary Picnic, clean up of the Rails to Trails, presenting the Service Above Self award to the McCann's (owners of the Emporium Food Market), donating dictionaries to the 3rd graders of Cameron County & Austin School Districts, highway clean up along Route 46, donations made to the World's Greatest Meal (fight to eradicate Polio), ShelterBox, Emporium Senior Center, and other local organizations. Of course, there were some "fun" activities as well, such as: passing out candy during Super Weekend & Trunk or Treat, lunch to show appreciation for our kitchen volunteers, chili sale during Weekend in the Wilds, creating a float for the annual Christmas parade and more. If you want to see how you can become a member of this hard-working, fun-loving team, stop by our weekly Tuesday meeting or talk to a Rotarian today!
