Club Party

Rotary Club of Dripping Springs Holiday Party

Joe and Karen Peterson opened their beautiful home for the club on Monday, December 12th.  The shared food, beverages, and oh what fun white elephant gift exchanges.  Bonnie was the big winner with homemade banana nut bread (a little jealous here).  Joe had a wonderful outdoor fire complete with S'mores and hot apple cider around the 42 foot tree.  It is a wonderful tree and a tribute to Joe and his son's stamina to get that thing up and lit for us in time.
Thank you Joe and Karen and all 28 who joined in the merriment for the evening.

Joe and Karen Peterson managed to get around to all the boys for conversation and some oos and ahhs over their gifts.  Each boy sat with Santa for a personalized photo and received beautifully wrapped gifts (wrapped by Steve, Glenn, Karlon, and Howard and made pretty with ribbons by Cindy and Pam).  Joe an A generous anonymous donor had delivered each boy a beautiful hand made quilt.  Most with sports themes and very thick and beautiful.

Interact Club and Operation Brown Santa

DSHS Interact Club and Operation Brown Santa

The Dripping Springs High School Interact Club has joined up with the Hays County Sheriff's Officers in Operation Brown Santa.  The student led organization is collecting new unwrapped toys so that local children can have a better Christmas.  Interact is a club for youth ages 12-18 who want to connect with others in their community or school. Interact club members have fun while carrying out service projects and learning about the world. Interact clubs organize at least two service projects a year: one that benefits their community and one that encourages international understanding. While Interact clubs receive guidance from individual Rotary clubs, they govern and support themselves.
