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.
Austin, Texas was named after Stephen Austin, who established the state’s first American colony. Texas is named after the Indian word “Tejas” meaning “friends” or “allies”.
The state’s nickname the “Lone Star State” comes from the fact that it was once an independent country with its own single star flag. The lone star flag adopted by the Republic of Texas in 1839 became the flag of the lone star state when Texas became part of the United States in 1845.
Texas is the leading producer of oil, natural gas, and sulfur in the country. You got it...Washington DC
Texas is 790 miles long and 660 miles wide at its most distant points. If you drive at 60 MPH from the very tip of Texas up through the panhandle to OK, it will take you 19 hours.
Texas is generally divided into East and West. The eastern part of the state is known for cotton while the western part of the state is characterized by cattle ranching.
