ROTARY BASICS…
‘An excellent guide for new and existing Rotary Club members!’
For people who didn’t know, here’s a short anecdote of why we ring the bell before and after each meeting…
Many thanks to PDG Carroll Greenwaldt for the inspiring presentation on the humanitarian trip to Guatamala Oct. 2022. Our own Carter Hallmark traveled with the group and used his dental skills to help the children.
The Rotary Club of Cedar Creek Lake is not only active in efforts to make life better here at home, but through Rotary International Foundation and the efforts of other districts and clubs, we are able to make an impact in other countries.
It’s a great day to be in Rotary!

In 1932, Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created The Four-Way Test. The Test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions:
THE 4-WAY TEST OF THE THINGS WE THINK, SAY OR DO
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
5. and Will It Be Fun!

Last Friday’s meeting was held at Triple N Ranch and Winery where we enjoyed a delicious lunch and heard from Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse. Sheriff Hillhouse reported on what is going on in the county with regard to crime and law enforcement. Hillhouse is also assembling a task force along with District Attorney Jenny Palmer to focus on crimes against children.
Rotary meetings are always informative, interesting and fun.
June is designated Rotary Fellowships Month to recognize the importance of international fellowship and goodwill among Rotarians with similar recreational and vocational interests, promote increased participation in fellowships, and increase understanding of this program.
What a loving and supportive community we have here at Cedar Creek Lake! The Rotary Club of Cedar Creek Lake is extremely grateful to Brookshire’s of Mabank for allowing our club to collect donations for local food pantries this morning. We were at Brookshire’s from 9a.m. to noon and collected for three pantries - Tool Community Food Pantry, Mabank Area Good Samaritans (MAGS) and The Refuge.
Each hour two or more baskets were filled with food donations in addition to cash given by generous patrons of the store. We couldn’t be more delighted with the generosity and kindness shown to us by the community. Thanks to the Rotary volunteers who showed up to help and many, many thanks to all those who gave. We truly serve a loving community!
Today’s meeting was held at The Library at Cedar Creek Lake in Seven Points where Library Director Sondra Price and Tri-County Library Director Melissa Newland told the group about all the programs available at the libraries.
