This Week in GP Metro Rotary
 
Out of an abundance of caution, effective immediately, we will move to VIRTUAL meetings for Rotary through the end of the month. We will reevaluate in February to determine our format going forward.

This week's virtual program is Career and Technical Education (CTE) in GPISD. Our speaker will be Aniska Douglas, Interim Executive Director of CTE.  
Meeting ID: 813 2296 3203 Passcode: metro

Don't forget our Adopt-a-Street project is this Saturday, January 15.

DG Max Duplant's January Message

 
Hope the holidays were wonderful for all!.  We have reached the half way mark for our Rotary year and thing are going very well.  As of the latest report, we have increased membership by 164 members.  About a third of this is due to the formation of the Suicide Prevention and Brain Health club but also congratulations to the Commerce, Greenville, Grand Prairie Metro, Park Cities and Preston Trail clubs for increasing membership by 8 or more.
 
BE SURE TO WEAR BLUE ON JANUARY 11 TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE CAUSE OF ENDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING.  And as you do, take pictures and post them on social media. Pam Blankenzee has an EHT graphic you can post with your picture.

Individual Rotarians can do the same.
