Erik Svenkerud Memorial Scholarship

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS!!!

It is with great joy and deep gratitude that I share the announcement of this year’s Erik Svenkerud Memorial Scholarship recipients. 🌟

Please join me in celebrating Sherry Rosalejos of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Juan de Dios Torres Gamas of Laredo, Texas—two extraordinary nursing students whose dedication to serving others shines brightly. Each has been awarded a $1,000 scholarship to support their journey of healing, compassion, and service. 🩺💙

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to the Scholarship Committee—Betty Ramirez Lara, Joan Bohls, and Blanca Swayzer—for their thoughtful work, as well as to the generous donors whose contributions made these scholarships possible. Your kindness keeps Erik’s spirit alive. 🙏✨

Honoring Erik’s memory through empowering future caregivers is a beautiful legacy, and it is our sincere hope to continue this meaningful tradition every year. 💛

International Service - Playground Equipment for Mexico
Posted on Oct 07, 2025
E-Club Rotarians Joan & Kent Bohls decided to celebrate their 35th Wedding Anniversary by making children happy.  They chose to buy playground equipment for an elementary school in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Juanita Lira, E-Club President, contacted a school and helped coordinate the project.  The Bohls personally drove to Laredo to meet one of the teachers and deliver a check. The students of Miguel  F. Martinez Elementary School were able to start this school year in September enjoying their recess with a variety of fun playground equipment.  The Bohls’ anniversary gift reflects their lifelong commitment to Service Above Self!
                         
Rotary E-Club of Central Texas Delivers Hope to Nuevo Laredo

My journey as the incoming President of the Rotary E-Club of Central Texas began not with a meeting or a ceremony, but with a mission. One of my first official tasks was delivering much-needed school supplies to the students of Miguel F. Martinez Matutina in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

This heartfelt project reminded me of what Rotary is truly about—service, connection, and impact. I’m incredibly grateful to Joan and Kent Bohls for their unwavering support and to Norma Rivera, the dedicated principal of the school, whose warm welcome made this delivery all the more meaningful.
