School Supplies for Rockport:
The Rockport Pirates will be resuming school on October 10th. Our club generously donated $1,000 to the Rotary Club in Rockport (via Wimberley) to assist Aransas County ISD in securing new supplies. Students were told that they did not need to bring any supplies, that supplies would be provided for every student in ACISD. What a great blessing for these families. Thank you for helping make it possible.
