2021-2022 CLUB PRESIDENT

Welcome to Norman Cross Timbers Rotary – a group of individuals who value service and fellowship. We are committed to making a difference in our community and beyond, undertaking projects that can transform lives. We are also focused on being what Rotary calls a Peacebuilder Club. Through our work and attention, and our connection with like-minded Rotarians in Norman and across the world, we see opportunities to promote peace and better understanding among members of our communities and reduce conflict. Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta has proclaimed “Serve to Change Lives” as the theme for his year as president. Norman Cross Timbers Rotarians embrace that theme, and recognize that providing service to our community and world can change the lives of those being served, and can change our lives as well!

2021-2022 ROTARY INTERNATIONAL THEME

Day of Service

Members of the Norman Cross Timbers Rotary Club participated in the Day of Service organized by the City of Norman, to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on January 17, 2022. Rotarians cleaned up June Benson Park by picking up trash, limbs, and raking leaves. Members were joined by District Governor Elect (and Past President of Cross Timbers) Conni Eckstein.

DG David Shirley Visits

Last evening, we were glad to have DG David Shirley as our guest speaker.

Cancelled Club Meeting Due to COVID

Given the increases in things that are concerning (infections, hospitalizations, etc), and based on a recommendation from George Mauldin (Cleveland County Emergency Services Director...who presented a program about Covid to our club a few weeks back), we are cancelling our meeting on January 18. George was to be our program guest, but we will reschedule him for a future meeting.

Toward the end of the month, we will reassess the situation and decide about the February 1st meeting.

With the Day of Service activity on Monday being outdoors, there is less concern, so we will still be doing our part on that day. Let me know if you can help us then!

In the meantime, stay safe!

This year, the Norman PD organized an event at the Sooner Mall Parking Lot (NE corner) for National Night Out.

Our club had a space, and a canopy set up, with a table, a club banner, some printed materials, candy to give out, and stories to tell about how our club does good in the world!
