Guest Speaker: Tan Parker
What a wonderful program! Being elected to serve the people of Denton County and fight for the betterment of Texas is something Tan Parker commonly refers to as the highest honor of his professional life.
 
Thank you to everyone who joined us Friday, October 29th at Water Works Hall to welcome State Representative Tan Parker! He spoke to us about his latest legislative session and how he works to serve the people of Denton County.
 
 
Guest Speaker: Brian Glenn
We are so thankful that Brian Glenn, a ShelterBox USA Response Team Member, was able to speak to us about how Shelter Boxes and kits are helping people around the world recover from disaster and conflict. Our club also donated money to help give resources to families in need!
 
Shelter Box is such an amazing, Rotary-grown organization and we are inspired by their passion for helping those who need it most. Visit shelterboxusa.org to learn more or donate.

Rhythms at the Riverwalk & Duck Derby
The 4th Annual Rhythms at the Riverwalk and Duck Derby event was a HUGE success! This marks our largest Duck Derby yet.
 
Our sincerest gratitude goes to the 117 event sponsors, everyone who adopted one of our 30,000 ducks, and all of our Rotarians and their loved ones who dedicated their time, treasures, and talents for this event.
 
We came together as a community to help raise funds for over 25 charitable nonprofit organizations. Next year, we plan on going BIGGER! Mark your calendars now for next year’s event on September 17, 2022!
 
 
4th Annual Rhythms at the Riverwalk
Join us on the Flower Mound River Walk for the 4th annual Rhythms at the Riverwalk event this Saturday, September 18th!
 
Get ready for a day full of family fun. Enjoy duck derby, food trucks, music, children's activities, vendor booths, and more. Cheer on 30,000 yellow rubber ducks as they race towards the finish line. The first lucky duck wins a $2,500 gift card! The second through tenth place winners will also receive prizes.
 
This event is the signature fundraiser for our club. Help us support several local nonprofit organizations by adopting ducks for the duck race.

On Friday, September 10th, our club welcomed Jason Morgan, a retired Staff Sergeant in the Air Force, as a guest speaker! He is the best-selling co-author of “A Dog Called Hope: The Special Operations Wounded Warrior and the Dog Who Saved Him.”
 
He is also a national spokesperson for an organization that pairs highly trained service dogs with wounded veterans and has founded Operation Renewed Strength, a nonprofit organization that raises money to benefit disabled veterans.
 
Our club was delighted to meet Jason and his service dog, Yago, and enjoyed listening to his inspiring story.

UNT PUSH Program Donation
Our amazing Rotarians came together at our club's 6th birthday party to give gifts to the UNT PUSH (Persevere UNTil Success Happens) program and the Texas Woman's University Frontiers program.

Our Cross Timber’s Rotary President, Shelly Dodge met with Brenda Sweeten of UNT to present our collective contribution totaling $5,295. It’s incredible to witness the generosity of this club and passion for our non-profit partners!
 
 
Cross Timbers Rotary Club's 6th Birthday
Happy Birthday to Cross Timbers Rotary!
 
Our Club had such a great morning celebrating 6 incredible years of community, fellowship, and vision!
We extend our deepest gratitude to our founding members: Andy Eads, Ginger Eads, Lori Fickling, and Lori Walker (founding member not pictured: Chuck Elsey). Your vision continues to inspire and guide this growing club that Serves to Change Lives!
 
In honor of our 6th birthday, we collected $4895 in donations to help support our newest partners: The PUSH Program at UNT and The FRONTIERS Program at TWU. They are both wonderful organizations that serve to guide foster care alumni through their college careers. They provide supplies, resources, and function as a foundational support system for students who have aged out of foster care.
 
Thank you to everyone that came out to celebrate with us! Cheers to another amazing Cross Timbers Rotary Year!
