MSB Rotarians recently visited Bunker Hill Elementary School for our annual Dictionary Project, presenting brand-new dictionaries to third-grade students.

More than simply a reference book, a dictionary is a tool students can use throughout their educational journey—and for some, it may be the first book they can truly call their own.

We thank Bunker Hill Elementary and Spring Branch ISD for welcoming us and our Rotarians who helped continue this wonderful tradition of putting the gift of words directly into the hands of young students.

Service Above Self.


 

MSB Rotary joined the Bellaire-Southwest and Sharpstown Rotary Clubs for a special Multi-Club Collaborative Meeting at Braeburn Country Club with District Governor Camille Hamilton.

It was a wonderful opportunity to hear from our District Governor, strengthen friendships among neighboring clubs, and celebrate the fellowship and collaboration that bring Rotary together.

Thank you to Governor Camille and our fellow Rotarians!


 

We extend our sincere thanks to Judge Sonya Heath and Judge Angela Lancelin for joining MSB Rotary and providing an insightful look into the family court system in Texas.

Judge Heath, who presides over Harris County’s 310th Family District Court, and Judge Lancelin, who presides over the 245th Family District Court, shared their experiences from the bench and discussed courtroom procedures, technology, and the important human side of family court.

We were also honored to welcome Past District Governor Kelchner, who recognized MSB Rotary with the Club Excellence Award for the recently completed Rotary year under Past President Genevieve Rowland’s leadership. The Club Excellence Award recognizes Rotary clubs that achieve important goals, strengthening their club, service, engagement, and impact.

Congratulations to Genevieve and our entire club on this wonderful recognition, and thank you to PDG Kelchner for joining us to present the honor.

We are grateful to Judges Heath and Lancelin, PDG Kelchner, and everyone who joined us for a memorable Rotary gathering.


 

Thank you to Robbie Perrine, Executive Director of Two Lives Changed, for joining us today and sharing the important work her organization is doing to support and empower young mothers and their families. Robbie shared three inspiring success stories that showed the real impact this work is having in our community.

Two Lives Changed meets at the Outreach Center of West Houston, led by Executive Director and fellow MSB Rotarian Jorge Quinones. We were also pleased to have Natalie Lerner, the Outreach Center’s Director of Communications & Events and Past President of Sugar Land Rotary, with us today. It was wonderful to see Rotary connections supporting organizations that are making a difference in our community.

We were also proud to officially recognize Arch Klumph Society Mads Engelstoft as a new member of Memorial-Spring Branch Rotary, presenting him with his 4-Way Test plaque. Welcome to the MSB Rotary family, Mads!

It was also a pleasure to welcome fellow Rotarians to our meeting. Our sincere thanks to Arch Klumph Society member Abbie Engelstoft of Brazos River Rotary, Past President Sandy Liu of Houston Galleria Rotary, and President Scotty Jung of Katy Rotary for visiting us.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a great afternoon of fellowship, service, and community.


 

Memorial Spring Branch Rotary members enjoyed an evening of fellowship and networking at the District 5890 Multi-Club Social at Los Tios on San Felipe. The event brought together Rotarians from clubs across the district to strengthen friendships, share ideas, and build new connections. It was a wonderful evening celebrating the fellowship and camaraderie that make Rotary so special.


 

President Dionne Peters officially opened the 2026–2027 Rotary year with her first Club Assembly, sharing her vision and priorities for the months ahead. She highlighted four key areas of focus—membership growth, support of The Rotary Foundation, Youth Exchange, and increased club participation—while encouraging every member to play an active role in the club's success. Dionne also shared a little about her personal journey, expressed heartfelt appreciation to the club's long-time members for their leadership and dedication, and conveyed her enthusiasm for the year ahead. We also extend our sincere thanks to President Ute Scheider of Space Center Rotary for joining us and helping celebrate the beginning of a new Rotary year. The meeting set a positive and inspiring tone for another year of "Service Above Self."
