August 11 Jeff Dunn, Dallas Attorney and Historian History and Memory at the Alamo and San Jacinto Battleground Jeff Dunn will not dwell on the facts of these events, but instead will focus on what happened to these sites after 1836, how and when the state acquired the sites, and the controversies that followed concerning how to present these sites to the public. From Wikipedia: “The Battle of San Jacinto, fought on April 21, 1836, in present-day Houston, Texas, was the decisive battle of the Texas Revolution. Led by General Samuel Houston, the Texan Army engaged and defeated General Antonio López de Santa Ann’s Mexican army in a fight that lasted just 18 minutes. A detailed, first-hand account of the battle was written by General Houston from the headquarters of the Texan Army, San Jacinto, on April 25, 1836. Numerous secondary analyses and interpretations have followed.”

July 28 Dana Mackison and Sly Majid RYLead Two of the people that have been most involved with RYLA - Dana Mackison and Sly Majid - will speak on the new program called RYLead. With the cancelling of Camp RYLA District 5810 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we want to ensure the group of students and alternates selected to participate in this year's program have an opportunity to expand and develop their leadership skills. This summer the RYLA staff and alumni will pilot a digital leadership program called RYLead (Rotary Youth Leadership Education and Development). The program will be delivered virtually and serve as a high-level leadership training program that is educational, engaging, and entertaining. The students will receive specially curated leadership workshops, mentorship from RYLA alumni who participated in the program, and unique one of a kind experiences to support them during their senior year and further prepare them for their future. Although not a camp experience we will be sharing a lot of the same core values with this group.

July 14 Barbara Johnson CEO of Hope Supply via Zoom   Hope Supply's Mission: "We meet the critical needs of homeless and at-risk children across North Texas by providing necessities including diapers, clothing, school supplies and toys to enhance their lives." Barbara Johnson grew up in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia where her father was an international business man. She attended Stanford University and studied economics and International Relations. "Growing up in developing countries, I experienced around me a lot of poverty and need, and was really struck by the inequalities in the world. While we lived comfortably in homes with air conditioning, furnishings and ample food, families and individuals were living in squalor…..even sometimes in cardboard boxes. It had a lasting effect on me."
After relocating to Dallas 30 years ago, she first stayed home raising my children while working part time on a tax and accounting business at home. About 10 years ago she volunteered at a nonprofit where she eventually got hired. Her nonprofit career had begun!

 Hi Jerry and the Members of Addison Midday Rotary, We hope that you are safe and healthy and coping well with the Covid-19 crisis. We have received and deposited your check. Thank you so much for your incredible contribution to support our 2020-2021 Nutrition Fund at Education Plus. We appreciate your kindness and your immense generosity in these uncertain times. As you may know from our newsletter, during the pandemic we have suspended our on-site services and now provide our students with homework and food packets to be prepared at home. We hope to get back to having classes and serving lunch on-site sometime this summer. Your gift has been matched for a total contribution of $4,800 and will provide our students and their families with over 10,000 nutritious meals! Our kids love the food that we serve them and you are helping to provide the nutrition that they need to be healthy and to concentrate on their studies at home. Let’s hope that this crisis is over (or at least safer!) soon and we can get back to serving and teaching these children the way that we do best; with an abundance of positive reinforcement and love. Things may not be “normal” for a very long time, but we will keep adapting to whatever challenges that we face. Here’s a short video of our Food Distribution Program in times of Covid-19 at Casa de Los Sueños for you to share: Thank you again, please stay safe and healthy. May you all be blessed you as you have blessed the amazing children that we have the privilege to serve at Education Plus Nicaragua! Gratefully, Jim, Monica, Keeley, The Staff, and The Amazing Children of Education Plus Managing Director Education Plus Nicaragua http://eduplusnicaragua.orgTel: 011 505 8793 3619

Club President Jerry is pleased to report the Addison Midday Rotary Club raised $2,400 for Education Plus Nicaragua, a charity he worked with on his Rotary trip to Nicaragua. From Education Plus web site: https://eduplusnicaragua.org/contact/ Education Plus Today In June 2014, our community center Casa de los Sueños (CDLS) opened to the joy of nearly 200 children and their parents. Here we provide food, education, and activities in order to eliminate malnutrition, instill core values, and give them the resources they need to rise above their impoverished circumstances. We offer our children a safe haven that keeps them off the streets, and exciting opportunities that keep them into education. In a country with the highest primary school dropout rate in Central America, our students believe that going to university is within their reach. Not only that, the children arrive to our program overjoyed to be there. Instead of hunger, what these children – the “forgotten children” – now have, is hope.

Carl Flowers The Spirit of Success  1776 a group of determined individuals face impossible odds. Their goal: to defeat the mightiest nation on earth. They are unorganized, have few resources, and no outside support. But they have a dream -- freedom - - and they will not give up. Using thrilling stories from the American Revolution combined with the words of the Founding Fathers, this inspiring presentation provides direction for anyone who has a dream to achieve.  See how the actions and words of America’s first patriots still point the way to success for us today … … hear how the beliefs of the Founding Fathers became a force stronger than the best armies in the world. … listen to the words that motivated the citizens of the 13 colonies and unified them into one nation. … learn the leadership secrets that enabled ordinary people to turn the world upside down.

 We need volunteers to set out and pick up flags. Friday/Saturday May 22, 23 and May 29,30 We can break into smaller routes if needed. We can try Caravans. Ben and Virginia have volunteered to drive behind Al, and put the flags in Al's van at the storage unit and put out the flags in Addison East. Al will never get out of the van. Ivan and Wanda have volunteered to drive another route - someone is needed to put out the flags. Dean volunteered to drive one weekend. Phyllis and Ray have volunteered to drive one weekend. We need drivers and workers for at least three routes each week. We do not want to put anyone at risk, so the caravan idea may be a good strategy. As an alternative we can break the routes into smaller routes that can be picked up and put into one vehicle - may 15 flags. We also need a coordinator - Mary Jo is unavailable after May 5. Please let us know your availability to work or drive on each weekend. And if Friday or Saturday works best for you. Please commit!

.jpg) From the mother of our RYLA Camper: Hi Linda,
I wanted to take a minute to share with you my thoughts on RYLA this passed week, that my son attended. He came home beaming and saying that it was the BEST week ever! He could not even share his experience fast enough as he was still on a “high”. The relationships he made were clearly life changing. Last night he went thru the pictures with us, each picture was a story to be shared. Needless to say he/they are working on a reunion soon. Thank you for putting up with my uncertainty and questions. You really made me feel at ease and comfortable with the whole experience. Thank you again RYLA!
