We are honored to welcome Brigadier General Joe Ramirez, Jr. as our Rotary Club guest speaker tomorrow.
General Ramirez served our nation for 31 years in the U.S. Army, commanding soldiers around the world and holding senior leadership positions, including Deputy Chief of Staff for U.S. Central Command during Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. Following his military career, he returned to Texas A&M University as the 45th Commandant of Cadets, where he led tremendous growth in the Corps of Cadets and helped shape the next generation of military leaders.
His presentation, "A Lookback at 250 Years of Military Service," will offer a unique perspective on the history, leadership, sacrifice, and legacy of America's military through the eyes of someone who has served at the highest levels.
Whether you have a personal connection to the military or simply enjoy hearing from exceptional leaders, this promises to be an informative and inspiring program. We hope you'll join us this Wednesday at noon at the Phillips Event Center for what is sure to be a memorable presentation.
Flags Across Bryan – Independence Day Delivery Reminder
The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and it's time once again for Bryan Rotary's Flags Across Bryan Independence Day flag placements.
This signature Rotary project creates a patriotic display throughout our community while raising funds that directly benefit Bryan ISD students and teachers. Proceeds from Flags Across Bryan help provide scholarships for local students and grants that support innovative classroom projects and educational opportunities.
As always, the success of this project depends on the dedication of our Rotary volunteers. We need members to assist with the delivery and placement of flags before Independence Day. Whether you can help with a portion of a route or stay for the entire delivery effort, your participation helps ensure that every sponsored flag is proudly displayed in time for the holiday.
For delivery schedules, route assignments, or any questions regarding the Fourth of July flag placements, please contact John Delaney directly.
Thank you for helping Bryan Rotary honor our nation's independence while supporting the students and educators who strengthen our community every day.
