What a powerful and inspiring Thursday Noon Rotary Club meeting!We were honored to recognize Lee Statham as a Paul Harris +4 Donor. His generous contributions to the Rotary Foundation reflect his deep commitment to service and his ongoing support of Rotary’s global mission. Thank you, Lee, for your remarkable dedication!
We also had the privilege of welcoming Ryann Phillips as our newest inductee. Sponsored by his grandmother, Diane Ethridge, and guided by his mentor, Mike Lee, Ryann begins his Rotary journey with strong roots and great potential. We look forward to seeing his impact grow in the years to come.
Our featured speaker was Daneshe “Dani” Bethune from the C5 Youth Foundation of Texas, an outstanding organization dedicated to developing leadership in high-potential youth from under-resourced communities. Dani’s presentation highlighted the mission, history, and transformational impact of C5, leaving us deeply inspired.
Meetings like these reflect the true heart of Rotary, recognition, mentorship, and a shared commitment to building stronger communities.
Community service was in full swing as the Waxahachie Rotary Club partnered with the Waxahachie Lions Club to install two new benches at the Getzendaner Street Housing Project park. With a basketball court and playground already in place, these benches add much-needed seating for families and residents. A few weeks earlier, both clubs collaborated to purchase the benches. This morning, members gathered to assemble them—demonstrating teamwork and a shared love for our city. Partnerships like this help make Waxahachie even better! We’re committed to ongoing efforts that enhance public spaces and bring people together.
We had another awesome Rotary Club Breakfast Meeting this morning! These Friday makeup meetings continue to be filled with great energy, delicious breakfast, plenty of laughter, and meaningful table conversations that remind us just how special our Rotary family truly is.
