Dictionary Program

Posted on Dec 07, 2016
 The Lake Ray Roberts Rotary Club presents dictionaries to the 3rd grade students at Pilot Point and Tioga Schools.  The dictionaries are free to the students and they are their own to take home and use.  We presented the dictionaries to the students at Pilot Point Intermediate this past Tuesday.   Our rotary club has joined in  The Dictionary Project ( https://www.dictionaryproject.org/about/) The goal of The Dictionary Project is to ensure that everyone will be able to enjoy the benefits of owning a dictionary.  Dictionaries are presented at third grade as educators  have identified it as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn.  It a joy to see the kids faces as they receive their dictionaries and write their name in them. Some of the comments from the students were " This is like Christmas" and " I will cherish this forever"

 

 Enjoy your dictionaries and enjoy the gift of learning!

Show Your Colors Flag Program 2015

Posted on Nov 16, 2015

 Our 2015 Flag Program has now ended for this year. Our Flag Program consists of flying flags on the following days: Memorial Day, June 14th (Flag Day), Fourth of July, Labor Day, September 11th, Columbus Day and Veterans Day. We ended this year with Veterans Day last week. We have several different teams of Rotary Club Members that put out the flags and pick them up. This year we set out and picked up 262 flags on our special days. Most of the flags are inside the city limits of Pilot Point. There are 32 flags in Timberlake, 25 flags in Butterfield Junction, and 18 flags in the Yellow Rose addition. We also put out 8 flags in the Aubrey area on the north side of Aubrey. The flag program helps funds our Lake Ray Roberts Rotary Club programs: Senior Scholarships, the Shepherd’s Storehouse,School Supplies, Dictionaries for Pilot Point and Tioga 3rd Graders, PilotPoint Education Foundation, Special recognition for scholastic achievers in Pilot Point ISD, National Night Out, Pilot Point Angel Tree, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, International Polio Drive and other community needs as they arise. We thank those that were a part of our 2015 Show Your Colors Flag Program! We hope you loved seeing the flags waving on each special day. We will begin accepting applications for next year's flag program in March 2016 so be looking to sign up!

District Governor's Blog

 This is what our District Governor said about our club on his blog:  
 
At Lake Ray Roberts Club today. They meet at a very unique and great home cooking restaurant Bebos amd Kathy's just south of Pilot Point. I would strongly recommend you put this on your make up list. IN addition to great food they have a very relaxed atmosphere and are doing things in the community. They are strategizing on how to reach out to the other communities in the area to join Lake Ray Roberts and be a gift to the world.
