Wichita Falls North Rotary Stories 
WFNRC Community Service Planning Committee maps out this years service projects
WFNRC Community Service Planning Committee maps out this years service projects
 
 
The Wichita Falls North Community Services committee develops a “plan of action” for the 2022-23 Rotary year.
 
 
 The committee, co-chaired by Joe Clement and Mike Crocker, culled through the many project ideas that members of the Wichita Falls North Rotary Clubs can do with the resources they have. A lot of planning goes into these events. Timing must be established and coordinated with the organizations we are serving, committee chairs need to be appointed and resources must be confirmed and scheduled. We are going to have a very busy year.

Team Gunnell leads the way.  Matt Milhollon, Cashin Poole, Spencer Smiser, Matt Gunnell, Bill Neale, and Ajay Kumar deploying and returning flags in the Edgemere Addition of Wichita Falls.
 
 
Deploying and returning over 500 flags for each of 5 flag holidays takes teamwork. And, Team Gunnell is just one of our teams that volunteer for this Service Project/Fund Raiser. The American Flag display gives our city a festive,  patriotic look and the money realized from this program is donated to a number of worthwhile projects in our community and world.
