Wichita Falls North Rotary Club was happy to present them with a check for $1500.00 to aid them with getting started. The Larry McMurtry Literary Center is an exciting non-profit organization dedicated in honor of world-renowned author Larry McMurtry who wrote such popular novels as Lonesome Dove. The vision of the center is to be a premier institution dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of Larry McMurtry, one of America's most celebrated authors. We are proud to sponsor their March 7th and March 8th pre-opening of the center.

Wichita Falls North Rotary Stories 
 
 
Congratulations to Grace Ainsworth on being awarded the Ross & Coleen Roberts Scholarship.
 
 
Grace attends Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas. The $3,000.00 scholarship is funded jointly and equally by MSU, the Roberts Family, and the Rotary Club of Wichita Falls North.  MSU actually determines the recipient.
 
Grace will be receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in March. She has an emphasis in Graphic Design and Painting. Her major focus is on painting. Her minor is in English.

Meals on Wheels Wichita County provides delicious, wholesome meals through 6 outreach programs in the community, including Home Delivered Meals, The Red Door, The Green Door, Kids Programs, Case Management Program, and AniMEALS.
 
Our strategic partnership ensures that not only seniors, but also pets in need will never go hungry. This donation will feed 72 clients
 
An inspiring speaker shared insights about the 4 Academy Mentor Program
 
 
This program is making a real impact by guiding students through mentorship, leadership skills, and personal growth. Exciting things are ahead as we explore how to support and get involved!
 
They are in Fain Elementary and will be starting in Booker T. Washington.
 
 
This was the District Governor’s official visit for the year.
 
 
 
 
First, he talked about the upcoming Vibrant Club Workshop in Weatherford, Texas. Next, the DG played and sang an excellent Rotary song that he had composed. The official program featured a novel discussion among the DG, AG Clint, and President Matt. It was a very good, new method for a DG presentation.
The highlight of DG Jon's presentation was a serenade that he wrote and sang for us.
 
Last week was a special time for Wichita Falls Rotary Club as Wichita Falls Rotarians from all 3 clubs took a moment to honor long-time Rotarian, Jim Hughes.
 
 
 
Inducted into the Rotary Club of Wichita Falls in November of 1979 by Rotarian (and his father) Jim Hughes, Jim has had almost 45 years of perfect, weekly attendance.  His influence has been great, and has paved an easy path for future Rotarians who follow in his footsteps. 
 
Serving Our Community
 
This past weekend, members of the Rotary Club of Wichita Falls North had the privilege of serving lunch at Faith Mission. It was a meaningful opportunity to give back and connect with those in need in our community.
 
Service above self – thank you to all who volunteered and helped make a difference!
 
Flanked here by Club President Matt Milhollen and club Foundation Chair PDG Tom Sherrif is Randy Fields.
 
 
Randy was presented with the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow recognition by the Rotary Foundation.  

The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation.

 
 
 
 Bill Smith, a pilot and retired flight crash investigator, spoke at our May 10th meeting about the Buddy Holly plane crash.
 
 
 
 
Member Clint Wood Introduced Bill Smith as our weekly program. As a pilot and a retired flight crash investigator, he was able to inform us about the famous Buddy Holly plane crash on February 3, 1959, a sad day for many of us in the Wichita Falls area.
 
Don McClean’s 1971 song “American Pie” was about the Buddy Holly plane crash, which also took the lives of The Big Bopper, who sang Chantilly Lace” and Ritchie Valens, who sang “La Bamba.” The crash investigation showed the accident was due to an inexperienced pilot! Sadly, Buddy’s mother and pregnant wife saw the news story on TV before they were notified! A very sad loss of great musical talent! Many thanks to Bill for his presentation!
