What an amazing Rotary Club meeting last Wednesday.

The Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Center Inc was packed with Rotarians, scholarship recipients, and proud parents as we had the privilege of hearing from the graduating seniors who received Rotary scholarships. 🎓

Seeing these young men and women share their plans for the future is a great reminder of why we do what we do.

We also celebrated a couple of birthdays, singing Happy Birthday to John Weid, who turned 80 on June 9th, and to Tami Cooper, who also celebrated a birthday on June 9th. We'll be polite and not mention her age! 😄

Congratulations to Chuck Mazac on receiving his Paul Harris Fellow +7 pin. This is a tremendous accomplishment and a testament to Chuck's dedication to Service Above Self. We are honored to have him as part of our Rotary family.

Lunch was catered by Oakridge Smokehouse Schulenberg, and as always, the fried chicken was outstanding!

Members also shared their weekly "Good News" updates and received reminders that our Fayette County Fair Burger Booth is quickly approaching. A special thank you goes to Steve Hillhouse for generously donating the hamburger meat for the booth. His support helps make this fundraiser possible.

Every burger sold helps fund scholarships for graduating high school seniors in our community, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another great Rotary meeting. Together, we're making a difference right here in Fayette County.

Thank you to Jonathan Ellis for speaking to the Rotary Club of La Grange last week about the upcoming Juneteenth Celebration in La Grange!

Last week, we had the pleasure of hearing from Jeremy Janda and his sons, who shared their impressive arrowhead collection with our Rotary Club. Not only did they showcase some fascinating artifacts, but they also explained how they got started collecting and the techniques they use to find arrowheads.

It was a truly interesting presentation that gave us a glimpse into a unique hobby, local history, and the excitement of discovering pieces of the past right here in our community.

Thank you, Jeremy and the Janda family, for taking the time to share your knowledge and passion with us. We appreciate y'all and enjoyed a great meeting!

Tomorrow is our next Rotary meeting, and we'd love for you to join us! If you've ever wondered what Rotary is all about, this is a great opportunity to come check it out. Just send us a message on this page, and we'll be happy to share the details.

🥫💙✨ DID YOU KNOW? ✨💙🥫

Week after week, local families are able to get the groceries they need through Area Ministries for Emergency Needs (AMEN).

That's why the Rotary Club of La Grange is proud to support their mission with a $1,500 donation. Susan Schultz, an AMEN coordinator, was thrilled to receive the contribution on behalf of the organization and the families it serves.

When neighbors help neighbors, our entire community grows stronger. ❤️

💙 Making a Difference, One Ramp at a Time 💙

The Rotary Club of La Grange is proud to support the incredible work of the Texas Ramp Project with a $1,200 donation, enough to cover the approximate cost of materials for a handicap-accessible ramp right here in Fayette County.

Frank Smith, who leads the local Texas Ramp Project efforts, shared how these ramps provide more than accessibility, they provide independence, safety, and dignity for neighbors in need. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, the ramps are built and installed at no cost to qualified recipients.

This donation means another Fayette County resident will have a safer way to enter and leave their home.

Service Above Self isn't just a motto, it's what happens when a community comes together to help one another. ❤️

Last week's meeting, Karissa Kocian shared her appreciation for Rotary's contribution to Hands of Hope and the incredible work the program does in our community.

Hands of Hope provides weekend food sacks to local students experiencing food insecurity, helping ensure children have meals and support even when school is out. The La Grange Rotary Club was honored to contribute $1,500 toward food purchases to help continue this important mission.

Every child deserves to know where their next meal is coming from, and partnerships like these remind us what can happen when a community comes together to care for one another.
