April is Maternal and Child Health Month
According to the World Health Organization, nearly 830 women die every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Many times, this is due to the lack of training and lifesaving equipment which is so readily available in developed countries. Lack of proper sanitation is indeed another major cause of child mortality across the globe due to infectious diseases. Yet, even in the United States we see a need for improvement as we have the highest rate of maternal deaths among developed countries with a rate nearly 3 times that of the next closest nation.
WE ARE PEOPLE OF ACTION!
In December 2021, the Rotary Club of McKinney Sunrise donated $4,000 to Scott Johnson School for educational needs for deprived students in McKinney 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.
Sam Houston was the first president of the Republic of Texas. Sam Houston statue is the largest statue in America that is modeled after a real person. It is 67 feet tall. It was erected in 1994 with 30 tons of concrete and steel. The statue is called “Big Sam” by locals, but its official name is “A Tribute to Courage.” Did you know that Sam Houston was born in Virginia?
The Texas State Fair is the largest in the U.S. It is estimated that almost 3.5 million people attended the fair in 2015.
The Texas State Capitol Building is taller than the nation’s Capitol building (the U.S. Capitol in Washington) by almost 15 feet and is the sixth tallest state capitol.
Texas has the second-highest number of professional sports teams. The only state that beats Texas in this regard is California. Can you name them?
The highest national speed limit is observed in Texas on a stretch between San Antonio and Austin on Texas State Highway 130. Here it is allowed to drive up to 85 miles per hour. How fast have you gone?
The revised By-Laws of the McKinney Sunrise Rotary Club were approved by Club membership on March 9th.
