| Posted by Jon R. McKinnie on Jun 01, 2013 My fellow Rotarians, Friends and Family of Rotary, as I come into the last remaining weeks of my term in office I want to thank all of you for the wonderful opportunity to serve as your Governor. It has been a year filled with fun, excitement, tears and tragedies, in other words life on life’s terms. With all its ups and down it has been a fantastic ride. There are so many people to thank, since a Governor is only as good as his support team and staff. You have all touched my life and have given me many wonderful memories for me to cherish for as long as I live. These are a result of the magical gifts of friendship, fellowship and service we all share. For this I thank all of you! Through this experience I can truly say we have and will always continue to live this year’s Theme of “PEACE THROUGH SERVICE!”

McKinnie on Jun 07, 2013 Space Center Rotary's EarlyAct FirstKnight program has been a tremendous success. Teaching chivalry and building champions -- that's what the program is accomplishing at Whitcomb Elementary School is doing. The program teaches children how to be role models and hold high standards for character. Organizers hope the examples will rub off on other kids. It was the last day of school for students at Clear Creek ISD, and some of them went home with new titles for the summer. Click on Houston's ABC Channel 13 News Reports | | Posted by Jon R.
