Holly Michelle Phillips (ne'e Gilliam, born June 4, 1944) is an American retired singer, songwriter and actress. Described by Time magazine as the "purest soprano in pop music", she rose to fame in the mid 1960's with the folk rock group the Mamas & the Papas.

California holds a monumental place in Rotary International history as the home of the world's second ever Rotary club, founded in San Francisco in 1908. Quickly expanding across the bay, the Rotary Club of Oakland was chartered soon after as the third club in the world.

The Rotary Club of Marble Falls sponsors Rotary International's Interact program.
Interact Clubs are service-oriented organizations for young people ages 12–18 (often high schoolers), sponsored by local Rotary clubs to foster leadership, international understanding, and community service.

The Marble Falls High School Interact Club participated in fundraising all year and then chose the charities that they wanted to donate to. Their club motto is "Service Above Self." They chose to donate $250 each to The Phoenix Center, The Mission Center, Ark of the Highland Lakes, and Family Crisis Center.
