Our club presented a check to the Weatherford HS Interact Club last Tuesday to help with start up fees for their club started and to purchase a new 4-Way test banner. This donation will help further both the growth of this club and the mission of Rotary. We can’t wait to see what these young adults accomplish in the community.
Weatherford Rotary
Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad. We invite you to visit our local branch of Rotary International here in Weatherford, Texas on Tuesdays at Noon.
Reminder that the food drive is still going on. Please bring your items to the upcoming Rotary meetings.
At the last board meeting, the board of directors voted to provide Center of Hope with immediate financial assistance with their food pantry. In the previous month, Center of Hope provided over 2,300 people with a month's worth of groceries, depleting their food pantry. In September, even more families will be relying on Center of Hope for food assistance. With the Center of Hope needing supplies on a monthly basis, especially during the holidays, President Andy Browning has challenged members to bring food this fall season to help Center of Hope.
"I am challenging members to bring non-perishable food items to meetings from now through December as a type of "food drive" to help with the need in the coming months. In appreciation for the donations brought, members who make a donation of any size will receive entry into a drawing for a $50 gift card that will be given away at our Christmas party on December 17. I will also extend this same offer to cash donations as well (checks can be made out to Center of Hope)," he explained. "Let's show up and help Center of Hope through this time of need. I thank you in advance for your support."

Weatherford HS Interact Club held their first meeting of the school year today with President Haley Rodriquez. Haley attended RYLA over the summer. The students also elected officers for the year. We can’t wait to see what the upcoming year holds for these students!
Kim Brewer from Sanctified Hope officially joined our club on Tuesday. Sanctified Hope empowers and guides formerly incarcerated women through a Christ-based ministry to inspire lifelong changes and become successful citizens of the community. Through a 12-18 month Christ-centered program, women journey to freedom and success. They will participate in Bible-based discipleship training, vocational classes, job training, volunteer programs, which will then lead to full-time employment.
Below is Kim pictured with Rotarian Joe Wilkinson and his grandkids, Hattie Hensley and Spence Hensley. They heard Kim speak about the chairty and their upcoming Fashion Show Brunch on September 6. For more information about Sanctified Hope, go to sanctifiedhope.org
