 The Comfort and Joy Bag project is designed to hopefully bring just a bit of those two feelings to a child/young person who may need it. We have packed these bags with some basic supplies, games, toys, school supplies, journals and a stuffed bear - all in a durable zippered tote.
On November 15 at 2:00 the club will present the first 50 of these fun-filled bags to the Rockport Police Department's Lt. Larry Sinclair. He will distribute to individual officers and patrol cars. Any time an officer comes in contact with a child under the age of 16, they will give them one of our Comfort and Joy Bags. Contact can for any reason - fire, accident, flat tire, welfare check, etc.
We are hoping that these bags may comfort a weary heart and create happy moments through what we give. It is a blessing to be able to make someone’s day brighter and better.
While we hope never to re-do this project of creating 50 Comfort & Joy Bags, we will be ready to supply more when the need is there.
Check out our Photo Album of the evening we stuffed the bags. Our District Governor Debbie High and 'First Dude' Joe were able to join us. DG Debbie was our photographer.

Fireside Chat will be held on November 10th. We will meet at John Jackson's house from 6-8pm. This is a great opportunity to invite potential Rotarians! Invite them, spouses/significant others, and anybody else who could benefit from attending Fireside Chat!
The original Adopt-a-Highway program began right here in Texas in 1985. Since then, it’s grown into a nationally and internationally recognized litter-prevention effort, saving taxpayers’ dollars and keeping our rights of way clean.
