| | Posted by Tom English on Dec 19, 2012 On Sunday, December 16th, the club and guests gathered at the Forest Club for an evening of Holiday Cheer. Warm fellowship, a marvelous dinner, and lots of singing filled the evening with joy and mirth. Thanks to all who were with us....see photos in the album to the right of this column. | | Posted by Tom English on Dec 16, 2012 Each year at Christmas, the Heights Rotary Club members partner with the Heights Association to deliver much appreciated groceries to families in need around our neighborhood. This year, the club met at the Old Fire House in the Heights. We enjoyed a good meal of bar-be-que and then delivered our food to selected homes. Our "Sunshine and Shadows" segment of our weekly club meetings allow us to gather contributions toward this great event. | | Posted by Ben Ballard on Nov 15, 2012 The Heights Rotary participated in an international project with eight other area Clubs to build four classrooms at the Cheheltan Middle School in Kabul, Afghanistan. Before the classrooms were built, students were holding classes outside in the sun and under tents. Girls in the morning and boys in the afternoon. The project, started by the Humble Intercontinental Club, raised over $10,000 to build and furnish the classrooms. The project was completed in October, 2012. Check out the Photo Gallery to see pictures of the project, especially the girl holding the Heights Rotary banner. | | Posted by Ben Ballard The final report on the matching grant for the Kosovo water project has been submitted by the host Club of Ferizaj, Kosovo. Heights Rotary was the international partner for this matching grant initiated in 2009 under then President Tom English. The project drilled water wells at 8 schools in the Ferizaj & Gjilan municipalities providing drinking water for 4500 6-15 year old school children. Leftover funds from the project were used to provide computer training to 40 high school students. | | Posted by Ben Ballard The Knights of the Guild kicked off this year's EarlyAct FirstKnight program at Love Elementary October 18 with their Tournament of Champions. This year, the Knights were joined by "Texas Rangers" to teach the kids about chivalry and honor as well as demonstrate their knightly skills with lance and sword. I had the honor of leading the kids in reciting the Four Way Test. Throughout the year they will be studying and practicing aspects of ethical living such as Honesty, Respect, and Tolerance. According to principle Robert Chavarria, since implementation of this program last year, the students' grades have improved and disciplinary problems have decreased. Go to Photo Albums to see photos from the event. | | Posted by Ben Ballard About 80 golfers turned out on a beautiful day, October 15, to raise money for scholarships for Heights area high school students. After lunch provided by Gahlen & Erv, the players chased around the little white ball then enjoyed a fajita dinner while tournament and door prizes were awarded. A big thanks to Darrell & Dan for chairing the tournament. And thanks to all those who sponsored, played, and volunteered to make the tournament a success. See pictures in the Photo Albums. | | Posted by Ben Ballard The Heights Rotary held its annual book sale benefitting the Heights Library October 5. Donated books were sold to raise money for summer reading and other programs at the library. The Club raised approximately $4000 for the library. Additional funds will be coming in throughout the year from on-line book sales. Left over books were donated to the Rotary Books for the World project. Thanks to Gary Meyer & Will Otto for organizing the event. Go to the Photo Albums for more pictures. | | Posted by Tom English on Sep 05, 2012 About 30 Heights Rotarians, spouses, and friends gathered at Fratelli's Restaurant to hear Assistant Governor Lawrence Barris deliver the RI President's theme...."Peace Through Service". A wonderful meal and great fellowship was super! Thanks to all who made it a great evening! | | Posted by Ben Ballard Wednesday, March 14 I attended the first ever Calf Scramble Steer Awards Brunch at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo where I met the 2011 winner of the calf donated by our Club, Manuel Cabral and his Ag Teacher, Cecario Guerrero from Stephen F. Austin High School. Last year was the first year scramblers were able to choose a steer to raise and show at the rodeo. Manuel showed his 1700 pound steer Tuesday at the Calf Scramble Steer Show and although he didn't take home an award, he said he had a great experience and thanked the Club for their support. | | Posted by Tom English on Feb 24, 2012 Our Foundation recently made a contribution to the 11th Street Park! Tony Allman, on behalf of the Rotary Club of Houston Heights Charitable Foundation, presented a donation of $2000 to fund the "Wireless Wilderness" Cell Phone tour at the park.

In this way, all club members can help their clubs achieve a full representation of the business and professional life of their community. Membership is the means to accomplish Rotary's mission and goal. Each One, Reach One! | | Posted by Tom English on May 17, 2011 From the home website, login using your user name and password.
