MSB Rotary enjoyed hearing from our own Will Ullrich, who shared his experience and knowledge of mineral rights in Texas. It was a fascinating opportunity for members and guests to learn more about a part of Texas property ownership and the energy industry that many of us rarely encounter firsthand. Thank you, Will, for sharing your knowledge and experiences with our Club!


 

MSB Rotarians and guests gathered at Churrascos for a wonderful Rotary After Dark. It was a chance to unwind, catch up with friends, and get to know one another better over dinner. Sometimes the simplest Rotary gatherings remind us just how important fellowship and friendship are to the Rotary experience. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such an enjoyable evening!


 

MSB Rotary Club members were proud to once again support the Spring Branch Family Development Center’s (SBFDC) Back-to-School Vaccination & School Supply Drive, joining volunteers and community partners to help local children start the school year healthy and prepared.

Rotarians helped welcome families, support the vaccination process, and distribute school supplies. We thank SBFDC, Harris County Public Health, National Charity League – Bayou Villages, and the many volunteers who made the day possible.

We also appreciate the community partners supporting this annual effort, including the Office of Commissioner Lesley Briones, Precinct 4; Spring Branch Management District; Spring Branch Community Health Center; Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston; Spring Branch Boys & Girls Club; Spring Branch ISD; and Houston City Council Member Amy Peck.

It was a wonderful opportunity to serve alongside our neighbors and help local children begin the school year ready to learn.

Service Above Self.



 

Our annual Back-to-School Vaccination & School Supply Drive is just one week away! We invite you to join fellow Rotarians and community partners as we help local students begin the school year healthy, prepared, and ready to learn.

Whether you can serve during the morning or afternoon shift, your time will make a meaningful difference for families in our community.

Please see the attached flyers for volunteer information, event details, and family registration requirements. If you're able to volunteer, please contact Chuck Monteith at 713-540-3139.

Thank you for continuing to live Service Above Self. We hope to see you there!



 

Club members gained valuable insight into the world of business valuation through an engaging presentation by David Lopez, Principal of M1 Valuation. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, David explained the key factors that determine a company's value and why business valuation is important not only for selling a business, but also for strategic planning, succession, financing, and long-term growth. Having completed more than 200 business valuations totaling over $5 billion, David shared practical perspectives from his career with Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and M1 Valuation. His presentation provided members with a greater appreciation of the financial and strategic considerations behind building and preserving business value.

The club was also honored to welcome Arch Klumph Society member Mads Engelstoft as the newest Memorial Spring Branch Rotary Club Rotarian. In addition, new members Lisa Reyna and Teresa Lansink were presented with their Rotary pins and Four-Way Test plaques. We extend our sincere thanks to fellow Arch Klumph Society member Abbie Engelstoft of Brazos River Rotary, Past President Sandy Liu of Houston Galleria Rotary, and first-time guest Faisal Poonawala for visiting our club and sharing in the fellowship.

This meeting also marked our final gathering at Guadalajara Hacienda. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the restaurant and its staff for their years of graciously hosting the Memorial Spring Branch Rotary Club. Beginning with our next meeting on August 7, the club will meet in the private dining room at Saltgrass Steak House, 8943 Katy Freeway, where we look forward to continuing our fellowship and service in a new location.
