nforgettable Rotary service experience is happening in Acuña\, Mexico.
We will work with multiple clubs including the Ciudad Acuna\, Mexico club
to pack and deliver backpacks filled with school supplies to students on t
heir first day of school. This cross-border effort includes: Sunday\, A
ugust 31 - An evening of packing supply bags and sharing a meal with our g
racious fellow Rotarians at the Acuña clubhouse. Monday\, September 1 - A
morning of distributing backpacks to multiple schools\, where students an
d teachers greet us with songs and smiles. School tours that offer a deepe
r look at the impact of our work and the needs of the local community
Each backpack costs just $10.50\, and the Rotary Club of Acuña aims to pr
ovide 500 backpacks ($5\,250 total). The Rotary Club of Fort Collins has p
ledged $2\,500\, the Boerne\, TX Sunrise Club will provide $1\,000\, and
we're looking for other clubs and sources to cover the remaining $1\,75
0. The recent July 4th flooding is impacting budgets from clubs in Distric
t 5840—but together\, we can get this done. Volunteer for the trip an
d be part of a meaningful international service experience. Direct flig
hts to San Antonio make travel easy\, and we’ll coordinate shared rental
vehicles. Valid passports are required. Before moving to Fort Collins\
, CO\, I was a member and president of the Rotary Club of Boerne\, Texas S
unrise. A member of our Boerne Sunrise Club had a special connection to th
e Rotary Club of Ciudad Acuña\, Mexico. Once a year\, the Boerne Texas an
d Mexican clubs—sometimes joined by other Texas clubs—would collaborat
e on Project Crayola\, delivering school supplies to hundreds of economica
lly disadvantaged students in Acuña. It was always a powerful reminder of
how service transcends borders. I hope you will join Lisa and I and ma
ke a new Rotary moment. Please email me if you plan to go or have quest
ions. I will be giving a count to our friends in Mexico so they can plan
appropriately. Trip Logistics Saturday August 30 – fly to S
