In early December the club had a guest speaker - Awad from Sudan - who asked if any of us had old laptops to give to a project he runs where students repair and reuse the laptops.
JD Simpson is still collecting them. Melvin Dreiss already gave one. Laptops can be dropped off at JD's office - Dockside Properties, 2738 TX-35 BUS, Rockport, TX 78382 (beside Panjo's) or call JD and he will pick it up 361-550-2907.
Awad will be coming to Rockport again on about the 26-27th of January to get whatever has been given.
The Wall That Heals is an exhibition created by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) to travel to communities across the United States. Featuring a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., it is also accompanied by a mobile Education Center that tells the story of the Vietnam War era and The Wall. The exhibition will bring the experience of Vietnam to our community and will provide an opportunity for all to gain a heightened awareness of the impact and legacy of the Vietnam War.

On February 2-5 (arrives on Feb. 1), The Wall That Heals will be in Rockport Texas. Everyone is invited to visit the wall.
However, at the request of the people that manage the Wall That Heals, it must be manned 24 hours a day while it is here. It will be manned by volunteers. The volunteers will provide security for the Wall, but more important, they will be trained on how to help people find friends and family member's names on the Wall. The training is mandatory and will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at 5:30pm. at the Festival Grounds. For everyone that is interested, please go to this link and fill in when you are available.
A new feature on the website for 2017 is a series of videos. While they are not about Rotary specifically, they do demonstrate a concept, idea, feature, or facet, that we as Rotarians either exhibit or maybe need to. Have fun.
PS - Videos don't work in all emails, so you need to go to the website to see each weekly video.
