This week's Program:

"Self-Evident Ministries"
Massey Campos
 
     Massey Campos is a first-generation American, but a 3rd generation preacher. Both his parents were born and raised in Mexico and immigrated to America as young adults in order to pursue the American dream. 

     Massey, along with his two brothers and one sister, grew up traveling as a family, as their father was an evangelist.
As his father preached, Massey, as early as age 5, picked up a guitar and bass guitar and started playing. While still in his teens, Massey began preaching to congregations the unsearchable riches found in Christ.

     In 2001, he began speaking to audiences around the country in high schools, colleges, churches, and much more. Massey's constant desire and passion is to see Americans, both young and old alike, understand the Biblical heritage of this great nation and bring America back to the God who gave us this liberty. 

     Not only is Massey a gifted speaker, but he is also a talented musician and writer, having traveled for 12 years as a lead singer and bass player for a Christian rock band. He is also well-versed in various genres of music including Latin, contemporary Christian and Pop.

     Massey is the father of three awesome boys, and husband to his beautiful wife, Cari, who assists with Massey's appearances. He and his family currently reside in Port Saint Lucie, Florida.

      Everyone who has joined the Arlington Sunrise Rotary Club since July 1, 2017 is highly encouraged to attend, but especially those who still have their Red Badge. 

     Of course, anyone who would like to know more about our Club is invited,as well.

     There will be up to five presenters and plans are to be done by 9:00 a.m. For more information or if you have any questions, please contact Membership Director Don Ferrell at 817-401-2500.
PLANT A TREE AND SEND US A PHOTO OF YOUR WORK
 
     One of RI President Ian Riseley has announced that he would like each and every Rotarian to plant a tree this year. It doesn't matter what kind of tree, or how big it is! Just plant a tree.

     Can you imagine the impact this would have on the world? If all 1.3 Million Rotarians plant a tree, the world will benefit from having Mother Nature help cleanse the air, create more oxygen, and beautify the Earth.

    You van purchase a quality tree by going to COSTCO. They have trees for less than $18! 

     This time of year is great for planting trees, plus we would like our Club to be one of the first to be 100% in participation. We do have a few members who have offered to plant your tree for you if you need assistance.

      We need to have this project completed by April 22, 2018. 

     After you have planted your tree, please take a photo of you and your tree and send it to Dwayne Lee, Director of Administration. Please email the photo to:
southernflair@sbcglobal.net.

Ways to do a "Make-up"
  1. Go to: https://www.rotaryeclubone.org/programs.htm and watch a video or read an article.
  2. Attend a Sunrise Rotary social event. (Christmas party and other Sunrise social gatherings)
  3. Work on a Sunrise Rotary project (flags,PhasedIn, Blood drive, Highland games, etc.)
  4. Attend a Sunrise Rotary Board meeting. (1st Tuesday, 7:00 a.m., David's BBQ)
  5. 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!
  6. 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                            Arlington 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 @                        Six 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.
 
 But there is one major step to ensure your make-up is validated - you must report it to Club Secretary Sheri Hall at  sherilhall@gmail.com.
