Our program for Tuesday, March 24, will be at the 602, and feature Dawn Lewis, a Rotarian whom we have met before, & who will give us an update on her clean water project in Laos.

Meg Musselman was honored as the Club's newest Rotarian last Tuesday.  She got the full Installation treatment from Membership Chair Elizabeth Clarke and President Vicky Lindsey.  Meg has already gotten herself involved with the Golf Tournament and is coordinating the Silent Auction/Raffle with Rotarian Dusty Olson.

Welcome to Bastrop County Rotary, Meg!

Last week, the Steve & Les Show brought us up-to-speed  on the planning and prep progress for our 1st Annual Golf Tournament fundraiser.  We still have a lot of work to do.  We still need sponsors, auction items and workers for the day-of (Monday, April 27, 2026).

Now is the time to be “People of Action”!

Our major annual fundraiser is Monday, April 27, 2026.

We are still in need of folks to step up to obtain sponsorships for the Tournament. See Les & Steve for who you can “collar.”

On the day of the Golf Tournament at Lost Pines Hyatt, more hands-on help will be needed.  See the schedule below.

Rotary clubs provide clean water in more ways than one
Rotary clubs provide clean water in more ways than one
On World Water Day, 22 March, we reflect on the many ways Rotary members are helping to provide clean water, sanitation, and improved hygiene year-round. In this roundup, we look at one of the first global grants awarded by Rotaract members in Ghana, which installed 80 microflush toilets, drilled two boreholes, and built 10 urinals for eight schools in the Ashanti region. Other projects include rainwater collection and purification for Indigenous communities in Mexico, sand dams for farmers in Kenya, and a water purification plant for a hospital in the Dominican Republic.
