Prestonwood Rotary inducted a new member this week. Spencer Zeavin has just retired as an MD and Medical Director for a federal prison in Oklahoma. We hope he will be able to keep us straight. His lovely wife Jennifer, a former teacher, joined us for the induction ceremony on Wednesday. He is certainly no stranger to Rotary since he comes from a family full of Rotarians. Please make him welcome!Prestonwood Rotary inducted a new member this week. Spencer Zeavin has just retired as an MD and Medical Director for a federal prison in Oklahoma.

Prestonwood was excited to join the many winners of awards at the District Awards Night on Saturday, August 26, 2023. We were especially proud to receive the award for Peace and Conflict Resolution. This is a three-year Rotary Vocation Training Grant, in part sponsored by Prestonwood and the Rotary Club of St. Thomas, USVI and the Rotary Club of Tortola, BVI. The grant will introduce Peace Building Through Service Programs throughout the islands. Pam and Larry Webb have traveled to St. Thomas twice to review the PBTS program and Prestonwood has hosted Tom Carlisi, the PBTS program initiator, twice as a program speaker.
Sonny Friedman was awarded the STAR award for his service to Prestonwood. This is an award that is given by the District and is available for the Star of each Club.
Prestonwood Rotary began their Back-To-School program providing The ROC (Metro Ministries) with various school supplies for over 300 school children that are served by The ROC in Garland. Members made donations of both supplies and additional money to purchase backpacks. PRC Members were excited to tour and get an idea of the needs of this community. Needless to say, the children enjoyed themselves at the Back-To-School party as well as having the necessities needed for their school year.
Darrell Lancaster led this week's meeting with the Rotary Minute - The Rotary Wheel (pictured). Vocational Talks presented this week by Wlad Meskelis (pictured) and David Echols. Our vocational talks, given on the first Wednesday of each month, focus on new friendships and getting to learn more about each other.
