Meeting attendees went deep into their pockets last Tuesday to provide some additional support for Rotarian Bill Owens’ Honor Choir trip to a choir festival in Salzburg, Austria next June. Prez Steve presented Bill with a check for $300 (sans lint), which will help one of the 14 singers pay for their transportation.
Membership Chair Les deGrafenreid held “Red Ribbon Ripping” ceremony last Tuesday. Three of our newer members, Lauri Weise, Robert Tyler (Chief T), and Lee Hull have completed their Red Badge requirements and are now doubly eligible for all Rotarian work, honors, and fun.
Bastrop Rotarians Vicky Lindsey and Michal Hubbard trekked to St. John’s Episcopal Church in Austin on Saturday with a Mission. They joined Austin University Area Rotarians and friends to help stuff 150 Christmas stockings. The stockings were age-relevant (no pointy objects in the 2- to 4-year-old batch!), and will make the coming holidays a bit more cheerful for area kids being served by the Children’s Advocacy Center here in Bastrop.
