Providing Food for the Hungry

Providing Food for the Hungry is especially important this time of year. Prestonwood Rotary members, led by Community Service Chair, April Culver purchased and/or donated 189 lbs. of food for Minnie's Food Pantry. Minnie's Food Pantry is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization and is one of the largest food pantries in North Texas. They provide healthy meals, educational resources, and red-carpet treatment

to every person they serve.

Prestonwood is proud to support this organization with our community service projects.

Celebrating Veterans Day - Prestonwood Rotary joins with Prestonwood Trails HOA

Prestonwood Rotary joined with Preston Trails HOA to support our Veterans at a Memorial Ceremony on Monday, November 11th at 6:00 pm. The ceremony was set in a quiet park surrounded by six flags highlighted by special lighting. The ceremony began with David Griffin playing Taps. Local Boy Scout troop provided the color guard ceremony, complete with the placement of a memorial wreath. Approximately 45 people were in attendance from Prestonwood and the Preston Trails neighborhood. Several Veterans spoke about their experiences and others added their stories from family members who served. It is hoped that this will become an annual event.

Our Speakers

Our own Kathy Allred brought us information on Calgary, delighted us with her experiences at past Rotary International Conferences, and informed us about the upcoming Conference in Calgary. More to come!

More than 17,000 children and families have been served since Vogel opened its doors in 1987. Heather Bradford from Vogel brought us news of their expansion into North Dallas and their partnership with the Salvation Army. Families are the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population, and 88% of those families are led by single mothers with multiple children under the age five. Homelessness robs parents of the ability to give children the safety and security they need to grow. Without intervention, it can cause life-long physical, emotional, and mental trauma in children.

Interact Day at Prestonwood

Interact Day was celebrated at Prestonwood with three of our Interact students. Each one talked about their role in Interact at PTAA and questions were asked from our membership. Many of our members shared a little about Rotary and their Rotary life with the Interact students.
