1. THANK YOU from GALINDO…Last week we received a very nice thank you note from Ms. Longe the Galindo Librarian thanking us for the Club’s monetary contribution to purchase books for the library and for the students.   But, the best part was the students’ thank you notes that she included in the envelope…..just charming!  The children said the best part was that they each got two books to take home and keep!

2. ROTARY Training/Leadership: Linda B, Amber and Lisa attended the District Assembly training   Saturday.  Every time I go to one of these sessions, we learn something.   Lisa attended the session on Strategic Planning and the AI session….maybe I’ll start using it!

3. DAP –SERVICE project:

The South Austin Rotary Club recently completed a meaningful hands-on service project at Adventurers Academy of Lifelong Learning, making a lasting impact for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

On April 15, Rotary members gathered at the Academy to install shelving in four closets and transform the organization of the facility’s pantry. What may seem like a simple upgrade will significantly enhance the day-to-day experience for participants and staff alike. View the photos.
