Fellow Cedar Park-Leander Rotarians,
As we begin the fiscal Rotary year of 2022, I am excited to once again lead a great group of Rotarians.
I have 5 goals to accomplish this year and will not be able to do it without your full support.
#1: Show the communities of Cedar Park/Leander that we as a club are back and will be participating in community activities.
#2: Grow the membership of the club with the “right” members. We are looking for members who want to learn more about Rotary and are committed to giving their time and energies to community events and services, and understand what it takes to be a Rotarian, recognizing that our support is global and comes with l both club and personal financial commitment.
#3: Produce a revenue income event that will carry the club’s expenses through the year and develop an event that can be mirrored for years in the future.
#4: Make the Interact Club an integral part of the club by including them in our community activities and revenue generating events.
#5: Be more social. Enjoy more Rotarian outings together and make up for the lost time in developing those relationships that the pandemic kept from us.
Our first board meeting was held on July 1. Our agenda was extensive, and we set the beginnings of an activity calendar that will be shared in the upcoming weeks with the entire club.
To start our community activities, if you have not yet signed up to help support LISD Backpack attack, please visit the club calendar to see the details. The community event is being held on Friday, July 30th from 8:30-11:30 at the LISD Leo Center at 300 S. West Dr. in Leander. Your attendance dressed in your Rotary shirt and hat would be greatly appreciated. Let’s stand out and once again show the community who and what we are.
Please join us for our first meeting of the year where our guest speaker will be a representative from Austin Angel’s. They will speak to us about how they are building a NEW foster care system centered around the Community, empowerment and hope. They will share with us the program and how we can participate and get involved. https://www.austinangels.com/getinvolved.html
Byron R. Pulsifer said it best, “The height of humanity is to forsake selfishness. It means, instead, to serve one’s neighbors in need.”
In Rotary,

Here is one of our current, local charity groups that we endorse and help out with on a regular basis:
Reveal Resource Center
Food Pantry: The Reveal Resource Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to feeding families through both physical and spiritual resources! It takes more than one person to spread the message of compassion, and Reveal Resource Center cannot exist without the support of others!
Community Clothes Closet: If your Church, School, Business, Agency or Family would like to take action to eliminate hunger and provide resources for self sufficiency, you can support this ministry through the following areas: Canned Food, Clothing Drive, Monetary Donations and Volunteer work.
Distribution of food and clothing takes place on Mondays from 7pm-8pm and Tuesdays from 9am-12pm (volunteer shifts start 30 minutes before each time).
To learn more or volunteer, please visit their website: http://www.revealresourcecenter.com/
Come join us as we show the best of "Rotarians at work" by helping at Reveal Ministeries Food Pantry. For over 5 years selflessly serving over 200-400 families per week who find themselves in need.
