Our next Blood Drive is August 22, 2019. The summertime is typically the Blood Center's slow period, so they need your blood more now than ever. Please come and donate and ask your friends to come as well. We have plenty of cool water and juice to quench your thirst from the Texas sun. We still have plenty of spaces available so please e-mail me at stephen.bauer@unitedcp.com or call me at 281-907-5100 and we will get you signed up. For those that are already signed up, you should receive an email from my assistant Robin from stephen.bauer.assistant@gmail.com with your time. Remember, each donation is worth 1 makeup and if you give double reds, then its 2 make-ups. You can also have some one donate on your behalf and receive the credit. If you can't make it to our drive, try to go to the blood center on 242 and give them our code 4354G902 so we can get credit.
Attached is my essay from John Fackler who attended the Rotary International conference in Hamburg, Germany. The 2020 RI convention will be held in Hawaii.

Our Club held its "An Evening of Elegance!" fund raising event on February 23 at The Woodlands Marriott. As part of the event, we honored Michael and Vicki Richmond for their major contributions to our community throughout the past 35 plus years.
All proceeds benefited the Rotary House. Rotary House is a Non Profit focused on providing patients from any of our five area Woodlands Hospitals a secure and affordable place to stay while seeking treatments. The Event netted $190,000 for this great cause. Once again, we wish to thank all of our Sponsors for helping to make this event such a big success.

2nd Annual Texas Legends Crawfish Boil- A GREAT SUCCESS!
Tom Cox and his team pulled off another great event- in spite of the weather! Over 500 people had their fill of crawfish. The event netted $21,000 for the Texas Legends Scholarship Fund, which will award college scholarship s to students attending The Woodlands high schools.
Club Volunteers partnered with Interfaith of The Woodlands on April 06, 2019 to help our Seniors by working for a day on community improvement projects. The local high school Interact Clubs also participated in the effort. This was a fantastic opportunity to show our support for our community and provide various services to local senior citizens in need of assistance.
