WE ARE PEOPLE OF ACTION!
In September of 2021, the Rotary Club of McKinney Sunrise donated $3,000 to the Nightingale Nursing School for equipment and education in Guatemala and in addition, donated $3,000 to the 'Living Water' project for water wells.
Based on actual results, intelligence, and intuition from implementing the Flag Lease Program, 'The Ulitmate Non For Profit Fundraising Project' is a manual for non-profit professionals and volunteers who want to implement their fundraising project to promote their cause.
Built upon the success of the Flag Lease Project, this summing-up manual provides practical, comprehensive guidance for non-profit fundraising universally. With tips and tools, knowledgeable advice, and real-applied insights from the actual project implementation, this healthy resource addresses the entire spectrum of patriotic fundraising for non-profits.
From 1836 to 1845, Texas ruled itself as an independent country.
“GONE TO TEXAS” has been used since the 19th century.
In the 1800s, GONE TO TEXAS, or even a shortened version of G.T.T. was adopted by people leaving a brief note for their loved ones before skipping town to head to Texas–often, though not always, because they were on the run from the law.
Vietnamese is the third most spoken language in Texas.
English and Spanish, of course, are the two most spoken by a landslide.
… and there’s a dialect of German in the Lone Star State that is specific to Texas.
Texas has an enormous amount of German heritage dating to the 19th century, including plenty of German town names that dot the map (Fredericksburg and Luckenbach, for example).
One of the results of this heritage is Texas German, a specific dialect of German spoken by the descendants of German immigrants who settled in Texas.
The next Board meeting is on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, beginning at 6:31 PM. If you have not sent in your report to Chuck, please do so by Monday 3-7-22.
