Membership Moment
What could Rotarians be doing at any given day, let’s say on a Saturday afternoon? This past Saturday a group of our Rotary e-Club of Houston members contributed to a fundraiser in Houston to help build a kitchen in a women’s shelter in Brazil, and also to help a friend in the local community who is below the poverty line and has cancer. The photos show Rotarians Michael Miller, Adriane Miller, Marcia Allgayer, Maria Zancanaro, Tatiana Berardi and Andre Berardi. Not present during this event, but who also made donations were Rotarians Ed and Robin Charlesworth, Husein Allgayer, Sofka Weirkmeister and Michael Mebes. Rotarian Adriane Miller raised about $800 by selling tickets, raffles and silent auction donations, and she was awarded the “best seller award prize”. Rotarian Maria Zancanaro was one of the fundraiser organizers who worked hard, and Rotarian Marcia Allgayer made sure her camera captured great moments.
The event was a success and our group had a lot of fun! The non-Rotarian friends who organized this event deserve our congratulations for the initiative, and so do all the people in our community who contributed in one way or another. Isn’t it great to be united to help others in need? This is what Rotarians are happy to do. If you wish to join our fantastic group, please let any of us know and we will talk about all the good Rotary does in the world.
