Stories
Marta's tribute
 
President Marta provided a tribute to her dad, a Vietnam veteran, whom she lost last year. Through a memoir her dad wrote to Marta and her sister, she has learned of the arduous  missions the veterans faced in the war, and better understands the difficulty of their adjustment when they returned to the states.  The veterans from the war were recently honored at a Courthouse ceremony for their service.
 
Christian Women's Job Corp
Carolyn Northcutt
 
Rotarian Carolyn Northcutt introduced Edna Vandiver, the Executive Director of the Christian Women's Job Corp. CWJC was established in 1999, and provides a well rounded program that provides spiritual, professional and personal growth for local women.
 
Edna Vandiver
 
Many women who enter the program have had difficult lives, and are in need of a positive direction. This program provides classes and guidance on a variety of topics including money management, healthy relationships, interviewing, resume and computer skills in a Christian centered environment.
 
CWJC has a great success rate, with 90% of the graduates being employed or continuing on to trade school or college.
 
Courtney Ayala was a 2017 graduate, and now works as a administrative assistant at CWJC. In her words, she came to the program broken, scared and lost. Courtney received the care and skills she needed to put her life on a positive path, and is a success story on how people can change.
Courtney Ayala
 
The program is successful due to a variety of volunteers and donations. Volunteers teach classes, make meals, provide assistance with transportation, child care, the food pantry, clothing and basic needs. 
 
For more information, volunteer or donate, contact them at  830-895-3660 or click here.
Prayer and Pledge
 
 
Kenneth Early provided some tidbits about this day in history, and the prayer and pledge at the meeting last Wednesday.
Wine is Fine
Ashley Phillips was wearing her Rotary pin when her name was called, so she won a bottle of wine.
 
Rotary Foundation Fact

The Annual Fund is the main funding source for Foundation programs. Your gift empowers Rotarians to carry out sustainable service projects in our community and around the world. At the end of each year, contributions directed to Annual Fund-SHARE from all Rotary clubs in the district are divided between the World Fund and the District Designated Fund. The Rotary Foundation uses the World Fund to support Rotary’s highest-priority grants and programs, which are available to all Rotary districts. Our district uses the District Designated Fund to pay for Foundation, club, and district projects the clubs in our district choose.
