Weatherford Rotary

New Member Inducted

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

Rotarians help with the United Way Peach Pedal

Rotarians came out bright and early the morning of July 13 to help John Forrest register bike riders for the 36th Annual Peach Pedal Bike Ride. The Peach Pedal Bike Ride is one of the largest fundraising events for the United Way of Parker County and all money raised stays here in Parker County to provide support for families and individuals. The United Way provides assistance to the following non-profits: CASA, Children’s Advocacy Center, Child Protective Services Board, Center of Hope, Freedom House, Hearts Full of Love, MANNA, Parker County Committee on Aging, Sanctified Hope for Women and Stars & Strides Therapeutic Riding.

John thanks all the volunteers who sacrificed their Saturday morning for this great cause and Major Perk for donating the coffee. Great job, Rotarians!!!

Peach Festival Golf Carts a Success

It wasn't hard to see a Rotarian driving a golf cart at the annual Peach Festival on Saturday. The annual fundraiser for Meals on Wheels provided rides on "people mover" golf carts to and from the festival. The golf carts were operated by current Rotary Club of Weatherford members, as well as some special friends, which included former Parker County Judge Mark Riley.

"The motto of Rotary is Service Above Self and that's what we did on Saturday," said President Andy Browning. " We were serving our community, while at the same time raising money to provide meals to those less fortunate. Yes, it was hot; but we can count ourselves all truly blessed and must never miss an opportunity to give back of our resources, especially our most valuable resource, our time. It cost us very little, but can benefit A Lot."

While the amount of money raised is yet forthcoming, it was a hugely successful day for all concerned. Thank you to all those who came out and served.
