A PROCLAMATION OF THE TROPHY CLUB TOWN COUNCIL SUPPORTING
AND RECOGNIZING OUR ROTARY CLUB ON MARCH 8, 2022 MARKING ITS
THREE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY AS TROPHY CLUB ROTARY DAY
WHEREAS, Rotary International is a global network of over 46,000 member clubs
worldwide, with a membership of 1.4 million individuals known as Rotarians, who see a world
where people unite and take action to create a lasting change — across the globe, in our
communities, and within ourselves; and on March 8, 2019, the Trophy Club Rotary Club was
established with its first meeting; and
WHEREAS, Rotary Clubs are grounded in the same values, with no two being the same,
because each community has its own unique needs, and at club meetings in communities across
the globe, members come together to strengthen their connections to friends and neighbors and
their commitment to improving lives; and
WHEREAS, Trophy Club Rotarians have stayed true to "Service above Self" each year by
creating, implementing and participating in many service, awareness and fundraising initiatives

stretch of Hwy 114 in Trophy Club), National First Responder Appreciation Event (awarded over
$20K in scholarships and awards during a community -wide event), Metroport Meals -on -Wheels
(providing food and delivery of meals to local clients), Ride for Polio (continuing the quest of
eradicating polio, worldwide), Supporting Local Businesses (yard signs throughout Trophy Club),
Partnering with Give Small, Help Big in 76262 (raising approximately $10K for local businesses
while providing that same amount in gift cards to Roanoke Food Pantry), RYLA (sponsored six
BNHS Students to the 4-day professional leadership development Rotary Youth Leadership
Camp), Christ Haven (participated in Hearts for Homes), and Presbyterian Night Shelter (Warm
Clothing Drive), just to name a few; and
WHEREAS, this March marks the 3RD Year Anniversary of the Trophy Club Rotary Club
whereby Rotarians have learned from local leaders, such as County Judge Andy Eads,
Commissioner Dianne Edmondson, NISD Superintendent Ryder Warren, Claudia Beeny (House
of Shine), Former NFL Players Demarcus Ware and Russell Maryland, General Terrence Dake
(four -star general who served as Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps and flew Marine
