Rotary in Focus 2019

Posted by John Hathaway on Jan 27, 2019

The work of Rotary begins in the community, and every community has its own unique needs and concerns. While we serve in countless ways, we’ve focused our efforts in six key areas to maximize our impact. These areas encompass some of the world’s most critical and widespread humanitarian needs, and we have a proven record of success in addressing them:

Peace and conflict prevention/resolution
Disease prevention and treatment
Water and sanitation
Maternal and child health
Basic education and literacy
Economic and community development

Rotary members planning new service projects are encouraged to consider these areas and the many opportunities for innovative projects within them. The attached publication introduces each area and suggests how Rotary clubs and districts and their service partners can address these needs both locally and internationally.

Rotary After Hours- Come Join Us

Posted by Mike Bass on Oct 27, 2018

Members of Rotary After Hours (RAH) are part of The Woodlands Rotary Club. The only difference is that they meet after hours from 5:00 - 6:15 pm the first and third Tuesday of the month. RAH is ideal for professionals that may not be able to attend the our regular Rotarian luncheons meetings. Ideal members are community professionals that are highly motivated to be service oriented in giving back to the community with Rotary Club of The Woodlands. If you now someone who is interested in joining, invite them to our next RAH Meeting!

RAH Meetings are also open to all Rotarians. So come out to have some fun. For Meeting Locations, visit our Club Calendar or list of Upcoming Events on the web site.

Rotary House Is Making An Impact!

Posted by Julie Martineau on Oct 27, 2018

We are pleased to announce that our apartments are fully occupied with a waiting List. Over the last several months we have been 80% occupied. We are extremely excited to see so much interest in such a short of time. To date, we have provided 204 days of lodging to patients undergoing extended treatment and their families at our Medical Center, This represents over $30,000 in direct benefits to these patients and families. Our patients have included 9 infants and children plus two adult cancer patients. These patients have come from as far away as St Augustine, Fla. and as near as Huntsville, Texas. We are currently evaluating our funding strategy to see if we can add a third apartment. What do you think?

We are also excited to announce our new web site where you can learn more www.rotaryhousetw.org

The Hospitality Committee could use more people to check in on our families and make sure they get the support they need to continue caring for their babies. If you are interested in doing this and/or have an idea, contact Jon Sanderson at jon.sanderson@primelending.com.
