Last Week's Program In a Glance:
"Polio"
Terry Ziegler
Terry Ziegler is a native Houstonian and a Texas Tech University graduate with an Honors Studies degree in microbiology.
Terry and his wife, Sarka, have two daughters, 19 and 23 years old. Terry is the owner of Big Z Lumber Company, a business operating in Houston since 1938.
A Rotarian since 1982, Terry served as president of the West U Rotary Club in 2004-05 and as the Astrodome Rotary Club's president in 1988-89. The West U Club was awarded the "Best Large Club" in District 5890 during his year as president. In addition, Terry attended a baseball game for physically & mentally challenged youth on the White House lawn with President George W. Bush as a result of the West U Rotary Club's Centennial Project.
Terry produces a Polio Eradication Update which is emailed weekly to Rotarians around the world and in 2010 received the Rotary Regional Service Award for a Polio-Free World. In 2015 Terry received The Rotary Foundation's Citation for Meritorious Service.
Terry is currently serving as the Rotary District 5890 Polio Eradication Committee Chair, as a Lone Star President Elect Training Seminar Discussion Leader, and as the Rotary Zone 21B Paul Harris Society Coordinator.
Or the short version - Terry Ziegler was asked to join Rotary in 1982, fell in love with it, and has been having trouble saying no since then.

HOW EASY IS IT TO HAVE PERFECT ATTENDANCE?
LET ME COUNT THE WAYS!
Did you know there are several ways in which you can have "perfect attendance" in Rotary,
even when you miss one of our regularly scheduled meetings?
Sure, it's called a
"MAKE UP". Here are a few ways you can obtain a "make up" for when
you have to miss a Sunrise Rotary meeting:
- Go to: https://www.rotaryeclubone.org/programs.htm and watch a video or read an article.
- Attend a Sunrise Rotary social event. (Christmas party and other Sunrise social gatherings)
- Work on a Sunrise Rotary project (flags,PhasedIn, Blood drive, Highland games, etc.)
- Attend a Sunrise Rotary Board meeting. (1st Tuesday, 7:00 a.m., David's BBQ)
- If you're in a travel status, get the Rotary Club Finder app for your smartphone and find a Club in/near the town you are visiting - even outside of the United States!
- Attend another local Rotary Club meeting. There are seven other Rotary Clubs in Arlington
- that you can make up at. Here's a list of them:
- Arlington North Rotary, Monday at Noon, Texas Land & Cattle, N. Arlington
- Arlington West Rotary, Tuesday at Noon, Shady Valley Golf Club
- Arlington Highlands Rotary, Tuesday at 6 p.m., Dave & Busters in the Highlands
- Arlington Sunset Rotary, Tuesday at 6 p.m., J. Gilligan's on E. Abram
- Arlington Rotary, Thursday at Noon, 1st United Methodist Church
- Arlington Great Southwest Rotary, Thursday at 6 p.m., Humperdink's @ 6 Flags
- Arlington South Rotary, Friday at Noon, Spring Creek BBQ, S. Cooper
Here's the catch:
You literally have a whole month in order to work your "make up" into
your busy schedule - within 2 weeks prior to the meeting you will miss
and within 2 weeks after the meeting you miss.
So you see, there really is no valid excuse
for you not having PERFECT ATTENDANCE.
Starting in July, we will be publishing the attendance results for our
Sunrise Rotary Club here in the e-Sunriser. Let's show the District and the Rotary world that we are ROTARIANS, not just members of Rotary!
