Howdy, Skyliners and Friends!
What an AWESOME way to kick off November! This weekend, our incredible club truly embodied "Uniting for Good" by coming together with friends, family, and some of the amazing Interact Club of Travis High School students for a morning of Caring Through Crafts! 🍂✂️
It was more than just crafting; it was a powerful membership engagement activity where we transformed everyday plastic grocery bags into recycled sleeping mats for our unhoused neighbors, with a special focus on assisting our beloved US Veterans. Talk about making a tangible difference!
Our morning started with delicious breakfast and lively conversation, building connections that are at the heart of Rotary. We even took the opportunity to share the concept of "vertical supply chains" with the Interact students – showing how one individual or group can take a project from start to finish, from collecting bags to creating the final mat!
Crafting projects are always a wonderful chance to socialize, catch up, and strengthen our community bonds. We had a blast visiting, making holiday plans, and enjoying genuine fellowship, all while making a real impact. It was truly a morning of fellowship, fun, and meaningful recycling!

This project, for many of us, became a deeply personal part of our Rotary "Why." We were incredibly proud to give back, recycle, and help those in need right here in our community.
We hope this inspires you to share these projects with others, or better yet, JOIN US! Visit the Rotary Club of Houston Skyline (or a Rotary near you) to help make tomorrow better than today for ALL.
