Inspiring Words from Our President

Justinn J. Jones

Good day, my fellow inter-web travelers, and welcome to Kingsville Rotary!
 
If you’re new here, welcome, and be sure to read about our latest exploits!
If you’re a regular here, welcome back, and be sure to read about our upcoming shenanigans!
 
Now, let’s reflect…
 
 
The Rotary International theme for this past year was “Rotary Connects the World” by Mark Maloney, which I think is a perfect segue to both this year’s RI theme by RI President Holger Knaack, “Rotary Opens Opportunities,” and our District 5930 theme by DG Eddie Bartnesky, “Lend a Helping Hand.” Not Mark, Holger, nor Eddie knew at inception how truly appropriate their respective themes would be to us in our current situation. Yet…
 
Here, in our New Era, we are Connecting around the World, Opening Opportunities, and Lending Helping Hands via Zoom and other online meeting spaces. Upon a cursory glance, it might look like we are farther apart now than before, but in reality, we are just a little closer: we are in each other’s living rooms and on each other’s porches, we are having lunch and dinner together in shorts and T-shirts, we have children and pets dropping in on us during our meetings. We are truly Connected, and what an Opportunity this is for us to Connect in even deeper and more meaningful ways! Some of us are actually busier than before with virtual trainings and assemblies and conferences, oh my! Yet, some may feel left out or left behind. This too is an Opportunity…an Opportunity to Lend a Helping Hand. Maybe that Helping Hand is needed in learning how to Zoom. Maybe it’s in learning a new club position. Maybe it’s in delivering groceries to a neighbor in need. Or maybe it’s just in a good old-fashioned phone call. The point, what an Opportunity this is for us each to Lend a Helping Hand!

Kingsville Theme 2020–2021
“Growing Effective Leaders and Faithful Members for a Stronger Community”
Welcome to Rotary Year 2020–21!  As discussed in the last episode, our Rotary International theme this year from RI President Holger Knaack is “Rotary Opens Opportunities.” Our Rotary District 5930 theme this year from District Governor Eddie Bartnesky is “Lend a Helping Hand.” Our Rotary Club of Kingsville theme this year is “Growing Effective Leaders and Faithful Members for a Stronger Community.” So why do we need a Club theme? Allow me to answer your question…with a question: “What is a theme?”

Rotary 4-way Test Competition
Rotary 4-way Test Competition
Congratulations to our Student Competitors!
 
Rotary Club of Kingsville held our annual 4-Way Test Speech Competition on March 25.  Area high school students competed for scholarships by speaking on how the Rotary 4-way Test can be applied to their lives.  The winner Emily (pictured at left), a senior from Academy High School, gave the top presentation in Thursday’s competition.  She will go on to compete in the South Texas district level.  Our top finalists (middle and right) Amy and Priyam also gave excellent presentations and received scholarships.

District Helps Rotarians Become Paul Harris Fellows
District Helps Rotarians Become Paul Harris Fellows
District 5930 presents a great way for you to become a Paul Harris Fellow! 
 
The Rotary Foundation Points Matching Program begins on Feb. 1, 2021 and ends on April 30, 2021. The primary purpose of this program is twofold:
  1. To assist those Rotarians in the District that are close to becoming any level of Paul Harris Fellow up to a +8 in achieving that honor
  2. To increase contributions to the Annual Fund so that the District will ultimately have more resources (money) to do more good in our District and the world
