We will be hearing from the Bee Community, our April Charity of the Month!

Through the handcrafting of products in a variety of enterprises, The BEE Community exists to provide meaningful work and a place of belonging for adults with disabilities. BEE Artisans craft high quality products like soaps, candles, dog treats, stationery and jewelry that are sold locally and online. 

They want everyone–regardless of ability and capacity–to experience the dignity and purpose that comes from employment. They believe everyone that has a pulse has a purpose and a divine design to work and contribute.

Our club will provide the volunteer labor to help beautify The Manor Senior living center in Bryan. This project is being funded by the Crabtree Rotary Club in North Carolina.

Bring your gardening tools and work gloves and wear a Rotarian At Work Shirt. We'll plan to work from 8:00 am to Noon and try to complete as many items on the wishlist as we can. Join us for the camaraderie and service above self work ethic to bring a bright spot to the outdoor space to enrich the lives of the Residents.

#TogetherWeConnect

This week, bring 1-2 books for children 0-5 years of age.

We will be donating them to Books from Birth!
 

This week we will be participating in a service project and hearing from Rebecca Villarreal of Books From Birth. 

Access to books in the home from an early age is the best predictor of academic success. And almost two-thirds of children living in poverty do not have a single book in their home. When children enter school behind their more affluent peers, they almost never catch up. And the cycle of poverty continues. But they're changing that.

Books from Birth strives to narrow the opportunity and achievement gaps for underprivileged children in Texas’ Brazos Valley by making sure all children have a high-quality home library – from birth. They run three programs in the Brazos Valley to distribute over 24,000 books to the most at-risk children in a six-county region, thereby laying the foundations for a lifetime of literacy and academic success - and a path out of poverty. The three programs are Clinics, Schools, and Angel Tree.
