All E Club Rotarians are invited to Join Green Steps on zoom Tuesday, April 25 at 6:30 for a short meeting to plan service projects for our Rotary E-Club of Central Texas.

Each month a project to support the environment is suggested to every member.

This is how with our club spread out over many miles we can do service while apart and really make a big difference. Below are steps that have been taken over the last 9 months. Help choose a project for May.

Step #1 Reducing waste and we suggested every member carry a reusable water bottle, cup and bag everywhere. You can still send pictures for Facebook.

Step #2 Meatless Monday -due impact of meat production on the environment.

Step #3 Plant Pollinator Plants. By replacing grass you don't have to mow, water, fertilize, or use pesticides and that is good for bees and the earth.

Step#4 Mindful Mowing (wait until wildflowers go to seed to mow) .

Step #5 Leave Leaves on the ground. Allow leaves to compost on the ground and hold in water for plants.

Step #6. Respect, Reverence in Relationship to Mother Earth by walking softly, leaving no trace, feasting responsibility, looking to the seventh generation.

Step #7. Plant a tree!

Step #8- Be kind to bees! Learn about Mason bees.

Step #9- Lights out at night for migrating birds.

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!

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.
