The December Rotary Theme 
 is Disease Prevention & Treatment month.
Good health care should be everyone’s right, yet some 400 million people in the world cannot afford or don’t have access to basic health care.  Disease results in misery, pain and poverty for millions of people worldwide.  That’s why treating and preventing disease is so important.
 
Rotary's top priority in fighting disease is the eradication of polio, but Rotary also supports many activities that reduce the causes and effects of other diseases through education and equipping communities to help stop the spread of life-threatening diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria, strengthening health care systems, expanding medical services, provision of medical equipment, and improving access to health services.

The Story Behind Your Christmas Wreath
by 
Chris Rothe
New Member
 
 The circle of the wreath is a symbol of immortality... throughout history, wreaths have been associated with life, rejuvenation, and renewal. Originally, wreaths were worn around the head, neck, or waist. 
Wreaths can be used flat on a table for decoration or as an advent wreath, which also contains candles, one for each Sunday between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 
Our program is thee Collin Small Business Development Center, which is a partnership between the U.S. Small Business Administration, the State of Texas, and Collin College. They provide no-cost business consulting to businesses and residents of Collin and Rockwall Counties. Low and no-fee workshops and seminars are open to the public and scheduled on topics that are essential to business success.
Come and meet the staff of Martha Gomex and Karen Raymond. Also, bring a friend. 

In addition, Dr. Tom Parker will be introducing the RYLA students that attended the spring camp his year. It is always an exciting time to hear of their life-changing experience at Camp RYLA and after. 

Also, the club will be voting on next year's officers and directors. Nominations are welcomed from the floor.
