Rotary: Judge Kristin Bays updates Conroe club on judicial-system needs

The Rotary Club of Conroe heard from Judge Kristin Bays about the needs of the judicial system at their meeting last Tuesday.

On the last Tuesday of July, these same Rotarians and guests will hear District Attorney Mike Holley about his Departments activities and needs. With a good Court and Prosecuting Attorney, a justice system working on cooperation provides a suitable deterrent system. Just as the sign on I45 states, “Welcome to Montgomery County Where our Justice System Works!”

As a result, crime in Montgomery County is significantly lower than in the neighboring Harris County. It is important to educate yourself and make proper decisions about supporting a healthy Community Environment.

As a part of that Community Environment, the Rotary Club of Conroe will host the High School Pigskins Preview. The Head Football Coaches of all of the Conroe ISD High School will provide their prognosis of the coming high school football season on Tuesday, August 4th. What is even more important is the “blood, sweat, tears, and love” these football coaches and their staffs use in developing these youth into the young adults that provide a healthy Community Environment. Members and their guests of the Rotary Club of Conroe will be the first in our Montgomery County to hear the coaches talk about their football teams’ possibilities and how they develop our youth into responsible young adults!

The Rotary Club of The Woodlands will also hear these same coaches, but their upcoming focus is on their blood drive. L This Club’s official vampire, Stephen Bauer told me, “Our Next Blood Drive is August 6th.  Please come and donate and ask your friends to come as well.  Every donation can save up to 3 lives. We still have plenty of spaces available so please e-mail me at stephen.bauer@unitedcapitalwealth.com or call me at 214-476-8237 and we will get you signed up.”

The Rotary Club of The Woodlands is also working to help others visiting the outstanding medical facilities by helping qualified families of patients with free housing in The Rotary House. This concept is similar to the Rotary House and McDonald’s House in the Houston Medical Center except it is for patients and their families that qualify for free housing during medical treatment in the Montgomery County Medical Community.
Interact Clubs through District 5910 will meet on Saturday, August first for a leadership building meeting. The District’s Interact Coordinator, Bunny Pratt out of the Beaumont area, will host a District-wide meeting of Interact Club Officers and Board Members at the Northside Baptist Church on F. M. 3083 in Conroe.

This meetings of hundreds of high schoolers in Interact Clubs across the multiple counties of southeast Texas is focused on team-building and honing leadership skills while programs for the coming school year are planned by the Officers and Boards for the 53 Interact Clubs in District 5910. If you want to see what lies in the future, attend one of these District-wide youth leadership meetings. It is awe-inspiring to see the potential for our future in these high schoolers who are today’s young adults!
