Fellow Rotarians,
The Rotary Club of Baytown was founded in 1928 and we are extremely proud of our heritage. We salute the many Rotarians that came before us who made this club strong and look forward with anticipation to the possibilities of the future. We are fortunate to be immersed in this community where individuals are so generous and caring.
We are more than one hundred strong, and there is much that can be done with those numbers. Two fundraisers we are proud of are our Glo-Ball Golf Tournament scheduled for November 8, 2011 and our Shrimp and Catfish Festival in April 2012. We will be disbursing over $100,000 to the needy this year that was raised from these two fundraisers during the previous year.
We volunteer with Meals on Wheels and Partners in Education regularly and will award over $22,000 in scholarships during the year. In addition to local support, we donate substantial resources to international projects that impact polio eradication, eye clinics in Mexico, and drilling water wells in third world countries.
Please browse our website to find out more about us and our many activities. I consider it a privilege to serve as President of this wonderful club. Together we will “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity.”
Yours in Rotary,
Pam Warford
President
