Speaker 2-5-2020
 
Our speaker this past Wednesday was Patrick Cannon brought to us by member Bill Lawrence.  Patrick is a life-long aviator and brought us a very informative program about hot air balloons.  Patrick has been involved with the Balloon Festival previously sponsored by the Highland Village Lions Club and the City of Highland Village.  His talk included the possibility of our club becoming a sponsor in order to keep hot air balloons an integral part of the Highland Village/Lewisville area.

January 'Student of the Month'
 
Our January 'Student of the Month' is Ethan Volini.  He is the son of Brad & Catie Volini of Lewisville.  Ethan started Kindergarten at Degan Elementary then attended Huffines Middle.School and Killough High School prior to Lewisville High School.  He has been a member of Mu Alpha Theta – Mathematics Honor Society, National Honor Society (2 yrs.), LHS Band (4 yrs.) – *Currently Saxophone Section Captain*, and a member of the Wind Symphony & Jazz Band (Recently advanced to Phase II during Region auditions earning a spot in the All Region Band).
 
In extracurricular activity outside of school, Ethan was in Cub & Boy Scout for 8 years and attended Boys State this past summer.
 
Academically, Ethan has taken the following AP courses:  Human Geography, Biology, English Lang & Lit., Government & Politics, US & World History, Physics I & II, Macroeconomics, and Calculus AB & BC. Ethan is in the top 10% of his graduating class but more specifically is ranked as one of our top 5 students in a class of 1,154 seniors.
 
Ethan's college of choice is Texas A&M mainly since it is a school that prides itself on its rich traditions, similar to LHS and it's not terribly far from home.  Congratualations to Ethan for being our January Student of the Month!

Rotary Reads - Thursday Edition
Members of our club attended the 'Rotary Reads' effort at Parkway Elementary this past Thursday, February 20, 2020.  'Rotary Reads' is a joint effort between Communities in Schools, LISD, and Lewisville Noon Rotary to read to 1st graders once a month this year.  Reading is the foundation for learning and so the seeds planted with this effort will influence our society for years to come.

Speaker 1-22-2020
 
Our speaker this past Wednesday was the City of Lewisville.  Directors Chris Lee (ITS), David Erb (Finance) and Gina Thompson (Strategic Services) shared with our group the progress made by the City on the Vision 2025 plan.  In 2025, the City of Lewisville turns 100 years old and embarked upon an effort a few years ago to seek citizen input to determine what that should look like.  The presentation today also sought to obtain input from members in that process.  There are a couple of ways that one can provide input.  Go the Touchpoint web location listed above or scan the UR code to go offer your input online.  Or, attend a public workshop on January 29, 2020 from 6-8:30 pm at the MCL Grand Theater, 100 N. Charles St., Lewisville to provide your input in a more personal setting.  Thank you, City of Lewisville, for giving us this important opportunity!

Our vocational award was presented to Jerry Mims, 4th grade teacher at Rockbrook Elementary, by principal Mr. Patrick Guy.  Mr. Mims is highly regarded by his students as a great teacher and mentor.  Pictured from left to right are Mr. Mims, Mr. Guy and Dr. Buddy Bonner, Asst. Superintendent.  Congratulations, Mr. Mims!
