Susan Brints brought back another year's worth of District 5730 recognition for controbutions to the Rotary Foundation allowing us to use grant funding in our community.

We welcomed Retired Judge Sam Medina to our Lubbock Metro Rotary Club noon meeting this Monday.

His discussion on "The Forgotten Constitution -
Governed by more than the Constitution" was a discussion about the Texas Constitution. With 27 amendments and 100,000 words, the Texas constitution provides real limited government by the people and for the people. As the second largest state in the US, we have 5 different regions and 160 different languages spoken at home. Much like Rotary Texas represents so many diverse groups of peoplededicated to our neighbors.

As the saying goes "Don't Mess With Texas"

We are so proud of our first responders here in Lubbock. Our Unsung Heroes event is certainly the best of the best.

Welcome to Lubbock Metro's noon meeting. Justin Opperman Associate Athletics Director of Revenue Share Administration and Compliance discussed TTU NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) in college athletics.

Revenue sharing is an important component of NCAA regulations to promote Texas Tech University. Although all our sports teams provide a top notch experience, football has the largest percentage.
