We hope that each of you was able to make it through the Artic cold spell of last week, safely. This week's speaker is our much anticipated 4 Way Test of the things we think, say and do. The LHS students will be in attendance to share their message of the 4 way test with cash prized! Students, we are excited to have you! Please join us at Bistecca at Noon on Wednesday Feb 23rd. If you cannot attend, we will also be hosting via Zoom at the bottom of this bulletin. Take care and be safe!
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the national holiday celebrated on Monday, January 18, 2021, let's renew our efforts to reinvigorate our Patriot Flag Program. It's the perfect week to get energized towards this effort as Dr. King and the US Flag both have freedom in common - freedom from oppression, inequality and slavery. The new flag subscription forms are already live on the website and one can even sign up online. If you know a business owner in Lewisville that you do business with, it's super easy to just as them to consider a subscription, all they can do is say, 'No'. Let me know if you need help accessing the forms or need one printed for you and I will do all I can to help.
Students and Rotarians alike braved the frigid temps to make sure that the refuse left behind by non-Rotarians was quickly disposed of in the proper manner. Thank you for Keeping Lewisville Beautiful!!!
Thank you to Dr. Bonner, Stu and the great Interact Students from LHS for making this the greatest Adopt a Spot so far this year! These brave students cleaned up while dealing with the cold weather to make sure they were doing their part to Keep Lewisville Beautiful! We look forward to seeing you all back on Saturday February 6th at 8am.
I apologize about the late bulletin. We will be meeting in person and virtually today. Adopt A Spot will be meeting this Saturday at 8am. Please join us on the corner of 407 and Garden Ridge in the parking lot of CVS. I look forward to seeing you all at lunch today!
LNR is virtual and in person! We have the best of both worlds for our great club. If you are attending in person, please make sure you are social distancing and wearing your face covering. We will also have a board meeting immediately following the presentation tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you all there!
Wednesday December 2nd, the Lewisville Noon Rotarians donated $4500 to the Lewisville High School Angel Tree!!! Accepting the check is LHS Principal Jim Baker, and Director of Student Activities Allison Stamey. Presenting the check is LNR's Steve Cox (age 60) and our club president Bill Lawrence. Merry Christmas!!
I want to thank you for participating in last Saturday's World Polio event; Spinning to Eliminate Polio. It was a big success for our District and ultimately, toward our efforts to raise funds to eliminate polio in the last two countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
I personally enjoyed getting to visit with fellow Rotarians from various clubs, several that I have spoken with on the phone or emailed back and forth for various reasons over the years.
I want to provide you with some results of Saturday's event:
We had 38 Rotarians and Interactors participate either spinning or volunteering.
We hammered our original $1000 goal with a donated result of $2500 PLUS funds are still coming in which may take us over the $3000 mark.
Together we rode those stationary bikes for 12 hours STRAIGHT.
Several spinners used Facebook to draw in additional donations.
We had one non-Rotarian walk up and make a $250 donation because he was aware that one of his good customers is a Rotarian and he had seen them there on the bike spinning. He told me that "it just felt like the right thing to do". That one lone encounter made it all worth it to me.
Just at our event alone, we had 9 different Rotary clubs all working together toward a common goal for a very worthy cause.
THAT's JUST WHAT WE DO AS ROTARIANS.
Total donations for our District 5790 are presently at just over $17000 with funds still coming in via checks and other means.
Thank you all again for helping me make our event a success.
James Kerbow is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

It is my pleasure to extend you all a gracious and hearty welcome to the 2020-21 Rotary Year. Without question, I am also excited, humbled and proud to take the helm in helping guide this great club’s future as your newly appointed President for the 2020-21 term. Let me further take this opportunity to thank our immediate Past- President, John Kazor and his capable Board for the exceptional leadership and service they have provided us in such a difficult past year.
As you know, we are currently in the midst of a global coronavirus pandemic crisis that few could have predicted the severity of pain and suffering it would present to our nation, business livelihoods, our families and also our Rotary Club. For months, we have now been quarantined in our homes adjusting to the new normal of commuting to our living rooms and joining a myriad of Zoom meetings. However, I am optimistic that this crisis may soon end for the better and provide us with opportunities for renewal and growth. Meanwhile, the health and safety of our members will remain my top priorities.
Finally, the Rotary Theme this year is “Rotary Opens Opportunities” and one of my goals will be to focus on further strengthening our club by encouraging young Rotarians to consider becoming our club’s future leaders. We have a challenging year ahead of us and I look forward to what we can accomplish together in continuing the Lewisville Noon Rotary tradition of exceptional leadership and service. Again, thank you my fellow Rotarians for your trust and confidence in handing over your club to my and great Board members care for this year.
Monday July 13th, Russ Kerbow (Pictured Left) presents a check to Boy Scout Troop 437 leader, Brad Korber (Pictured Right) from the Lewisville Noon Rotary. Thank you Boy Scouts for your hard work and service!
Thanks to all our Patriot Flag subscribers for either renewing or adding flags this year. Memorial Day marks the first of 5 holidays when the Lewisville Noon Rotary with a big help from the Boy Scouts post flags at businesses in Lewisville. Rotarian James Lee recently snapped this photo with scouts putting out his flags this year. Thanks for your support, James!
