Everything Old is New Again
Remember way back in 2021, when Lewisville Noon Rotary club members would gather at Bistecca for lunch each week? Those sure were good times...
 
Fortunately, we'll be carrying on the tradition in the New Year! The club will be back at Bistecca at noon this Wednesday for our regularly scheduled meeting. Club treasurer Eyad Salloum will be giving a presentation on Real Estate Note Investments, and Chef Morris Salerno undoubtedly will be serving up a tasty meal. As we wait with eager anticipation for our next gathering, here's a brief look back at happenings during our last official meeting of 2021...

Eat Your Microgreens!

Rotarian Leslie Thompson (pictured here with LNR club president Dirk Dahlke) gave a brief and informative presentation on the benefits of microgreens. These nutrient-packed seedlings are easy to grow at home and offer a host of health benefits, from lowering blood pressure and cholesterol to promoting good gut health and even reducing the risk of cancer. You can find (or grow) more than 60 varieties of this tiny superfood. Popular choices include beets, chard, spinach, chives, garlic, dill, fennel, radicchio, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, watercress, beans, chickpeas, and lentils.
 
 
One easy option to grow microgreens at home is to use a ready-made kit, complete with pre-seeded quilts that sprout in less than a week. You can purchase a microgreen starter kit (or any number of other product bundles) at www.Hamama.com. Use code GLOW22 to get 22% off your first order. (This is not an affiliate link, just the company's New Year's special, good through January 31st.) Need recipe ideas? You'll find plenty in the Hamama blog
Club Welcomes Deanna Adams
LNR Club president Dirk Dahlke inducted Deanna Adams as the newest member of the Lewisville Noon Rotary at the club meeting on December 15th. Deanna grew up in the Texas panhandle and has lived in the DFW area since 1986. She has worked in the mortgage industry for 28 years and currently is with Premier Nationwide Lending in Flower Mound. Deanna was sponsored by Angie Cox, and the club is delighted to welcome her as our newest Rotarian.

President of the National Honor Society at Lewisville High School and #1 in his graduating class, Pedro Garcia was heralded by the Lewisville Noon Rotary as the Student of the Month for December 2021 at the club's final meeting of the year. Pedro also serves as a community service officer on the student council and leads the Angel Tree project for the school, coordinating dozens of volunteers for the annual toy drive. "He is the most genuinely nice person you will meet," said LHS principal Jim Baker, when describing the star student, adding, "He is always smiling, always kind, and always working. He makes Lewisville High School proud." 
A Special Thank You
Week after week, Bistecca General Manager Stacey Mahieu and head server Tony Dominguez go above and beyond to ensure members of the Lewisville Noon Rotary enjoy a delicious meal in a clean and welcoming environment. Club President Dirk Dahlke proudly presented each of them with a holiday bonus from the club as a special thank you for all their hard work. 
MISSED A MEETING?
If you want credit for a make-up, contact LNR Membership chair Terry Russell to let him know when and where you attended another Rotary club meeting, or the date and service activity that you participated in to count as a make up. You have two weeks before and two weeks after a missed meeting to make up for your absence. Make-ups are a great way to meet Rotarians from other clubs and become more engaged with the outreach activities we do in the local community!
