Did You Know?

A former Ambassadorial

Scholar to Valparaiso, Chile,

from our Club, Jennifer

Walden, has joined the

Rotary Club of Humble in

Houston. Jennifer was

awarded the scholarship in

2004 and was abroad in the

2005-2006 academic year.

I guess you could say,

scholarship donations create

a lasting impact!

2 by 22

As announced last week, one of

President Tim Stephens’ goals is “2

by 22”. In case you missed it, the

goal is to raise our Club Endowment

Fund to $2M by 2022. Currently

we are at $400K+.

While that may sound like a lot, it is

very much in line with what other

clubs our size have in their own

endowments. And it would

generate around $80K per year that

we could use for scholarships,

projects, and donations to the

Rotary Foundation. Imagine the

good we could do in perpetuity.

You are encouraged to be one of the

first Legacy Leaders with a gift of

$1,000 to the Club’s Endowment

Fund. Make your check out today

and proudly display your Legacy

Leader lapel pin.
