Each Rotary Club in District 5890 may propose one post-graduate candidate for these competitive scholarships, for studies abroad (beginning no sooner than July 1, 2015) within one of Rotary's six "Areas of Focus". Candidates that have a linear relationship to a Rotarian, as far back as grandparent, are not eligible for these scholarships.
The application deadline is October 10, 2014, and the mandatory interviews will be held in Houston, Texas on November 8, 2014. Application materials and more information are available on the District 5890 website, www.rotary5890.org.

President's Message
Sheila Franklin
Dear Guests and Fellow Rotarians,
Our service to the community, and the fellowship we share during this service, are the primary reasons many of us joined Rotary. By sharing our next few projects with you, it is my hope that you find your entry point into this beautiful world of service, community, and lasting friendships.
On Saturday, May 2, from 9am to 1pm, our club will partner with Texas Childrens Hospital to have car seat specialists available to inspect children's car seats to ensure the seats are the proper size for the children using them and that they are properly installed. Should a child have a car seat that is mis-sized or in disrepair, replacement car seats will be available free of charge. The location for this event is The Spring Branch Family Development Center, 8575 Pitner Road, Houston, 77080. You have an opportunity to donate money towards the new car seats or to donate time by assisting the inspectors.
On a monthly basis, our club provides a meal to the Turning Point Center. Turning Point Center provides food and shelter to the elderly homeless in Houston. Your opportunity is to donate money towards this meal, or to donate time to assist in serving this meal. Please contact Bill Haglund for more information, WMHaglund@aol.com.
