Green Steps

1 Comment

Supporting the environment, Rotary's 7th area of focus, is what Green Steps is all about. The new committee of the Rotary E-Club which every member is part will give the club service projects around environmental issues each month. Yes, it is huge and diverse so one step at time beginning with awareness knowledge. The Green Steps committee will meet the 4th Tuesday of the month at 6:30. Our club members live in many different areas so individually we will do service around supporting the environment together.

This month members Green Steps Service is take a reusable water bottle, cup and bag with you everywhere in order to reduce landfill material. Below is a look at what we throw away.

Liberia Cervical Cancer Project

Our E-Club International Committee supported the Rotary Club of Sinkora Liberia and the Liberia Cancer Society by providing $1000 for screening and treatment equipment. Above is the presentation of a check for $1500 to the Liberian Cancer Society. This all could be made possible because of the generous donations of club members to our club foundation:RESCUSA. Happy Bucks and Change for Change have been one way we have increased our foundation. Thank you members of the Rotary E-Club.

The following is information is from the Liberia Cancer Society.

Butterfly Garden

Members of Rotary E-Club helped plan, prepare and helped in the planting of a butterfly garden at Pecan Springs Elementary School. Supporting the Environment is the newest Area of Focus of Rotary and the partnership with an Elementary School on such a project has been very exciting for the Rotary E-Club Family. Linda Tyler has been the expert in planning with the support of Erik Svenkerud. On Saturday many of our members helped move dirt and prepare the flower beds including Linda Tyler, Erik Svenkerud, Brigitte Pahwa, Betty Lara, Adam Lara, Jerry Lozano, Joan Bohls, Kent Bohls. Sam Haddad, MaryAnn Walborg as well as many of the teachers. Plants that are native are important to the Butterfly life cycle have been chosen for the design. This project is a perfect learning tool for Science in Pecan Elementary School. Everyone had a great time working and look forward to a beautiful garden that supports the environment.

Rotary E-Club Helps Save the Planet

Rotary E-Club of Central Texas gave away 650 Virginia Pine tree seedlings as a effort to help save our world. Rotary E-Club members helped give away the trees both in Austin, Bastrop and nearby. Members of Rotary E Club, Bastrop Rotary, Smithville Garden Club and many friends and neighbors took seedlings to plant on their own land. Donations to Rotary E-Club foundation were suggested in order to continue doing good in the world.

“We want to make a difference in the world for our children and grandchildren,” Club President Joan Bohls said, “and protecting the environment is one of the very best and necessary ways to do that. Trees serve as an indicator for the health of the air and the world around us," Bohls said.

Foundation Success

The Rotary Foundation is the backbone of Rotary work. Our DAP grant money and Global Grant funding are from The Rotary Foundation determined by what we give as a club.

The appeal for foundation giving was a great success and everyone had fun participating in the drawing for prizes. Thank you to the following for donating prizes: Tiesa, Erin, Joan, Gene and Betty. The prize winners were Tricia, Brigitte, Linda, Sam, Joan Celeste, Kent, Tiesa, Ashley, Carol and Twyla. Congratulations to all for giving and winning! We all win when we give! Thank you!

Rise Against Hunger

Rotary E-Club of Central Texas joined NxNE Rotary in a very successful project packaging rice, beans and dried vegetables to be sent where food and hunger are a big problem. We bagged 10,152 meal kits and Rise Against Hunger will let us know soon what country it will be sent to. Members Martha Myers, Linda Tyler, Joan and Kent Bohls and their grandchildren Conrad and Smith Bohls helped package food at Casa Chapala Mexican Food Restaurant owned by President of NxNE Rotary Lupe Barragan. Lupe was so generous to provide breakfast tacos, coffee and O.J. for everyone. It was a wonderful opportunity to serve.

This project was funded by our DAP Grant which is a reminder that what we give to the Rotary Annual fund on My Rotary comes back to us to use for projects!
