Kennedale Rotary Flag Program

Honor your Country while you support your Community

This event is the primary fundraiser for the club, the city's only civic organization. Your generosity helps

fund educational programs for Kennedale youth, food and clothing for underserved local families, and

international humanitarian projects such as clean water, hunger relief, disease prevention and literacy.

With your $50 a year donation, beginning on Memorial Day 2020, we will deliver an

American Flag curbside to your property on six holidays. Following each holiday, we will collect, clean

and store the flag and standard to preserve the flag's integrity.

Flag Holidays

Memorial day - Flag Day - Independence Day - Labor Day - Patriots Day - Veterans Day

 

The Kennedale Rotary Club is pleased to announce the convenience of online payment for memorial

flag subscriptions.  Please follow the link below to register for the flag program. 

Pricing is $50 for one year.

    1. What brought you to Rotary?   
    New to town 8 years ago and Rotary seemed like the best place to start. My Father was a long-time Rotarian. I worked for him in college, and watched him walk out the door every Wednesday for a noon Rotary meeting. He loved it and faithfully did service above self as a livelong practice. Following in his footsteps does not even seem possible--he left huge tracks. But considering his legacy, that is where I want to be.
    2. Who had the biggest impact on the person you have become?  
    My Grandmother "Gram-Gram" Gertrude Hodde was a praying, active, faithful, volunteering, bright lady. I admired her so, spending time each summer with her. She would always tell people, "Susan is tall like her Gram Gram." Being adopted, I looked like no one, but she always made me feel like I fit in, like I belonged. She took me to sing with her in the choir. Never has my voice been thought of as anything that resembled good, harmonious, or musical, but she wanted me with her in the loft, with choir robe singing the part. I've named my mini-van after her, "Gerty." As a proper woman, "Gerty" was never a nickname she endorsed, but in my heart she was warm as sunshine.
    3. Name something you would like to accomplish BEFORE you die.
    Seeing my grandkids be happy, healthy and launched in life; ride in a hot air balloon;  write a book; solo on banjo
    4. Where is the most beautiful place you have been?
    Molokai island, traversing down the sea cliffs to the leaper colony during whale season. Breathtaking. This planet has so much to offer, and we in turn should offer back our best.
    5. Vocation tell us about your work. 
    I am a licensed clinical social worker who specialized in trauma and anxiety, with special training in a type of psychotherapy called Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, known commonly as "EMDR." It is a robust therapy that addresses the bio-psycho-social-neuro-physiological-immunological reactivity the body experiences during crisis and trauma, allowing for trauma resolution. I have the privilege of working with 1st responders, military, civilians, individuals with difficult childhoods, people who have experienced a variety of incidents, addictions, and traumas. I'm a Certified EMDR Clinician, an Approved Consultant and the Regional Coordinator for the DFW West Regional Network.
    6. What is your guilty pleasure?
    Early Grey with a shot of Honey, power tools, and college football

    1. What​ ​brought​ ​you​ ​to​ ​Rotary?​ ​​  Rotary values align with my life's compass.

    2. Who​ ​had​ ​the​ ​biggest​ ​impact​ ​on​ ​the​ ​person​ ​you​ ​have​ ​become?​ ​​ 
    I have had a few mentors in my life, most have let me down. However, the two biggest teachers in my life have been my God and my father. God is the ultimate teacher, sometimes to my demise. My father taught me about being Puerto Rican, about standing firm in my beliefs, about not sugar coating my response, and how to stand firm in adversity.

    3. Name​ ​something​ ​you​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​accomplish​ ​BEFORE​ ​you​ ​die.  U.S. Senator. My facebook extension is jeff4senator :)

    4. Where​ ​is

    master​ ​the​ ​most​ ​beautiful​ ​place​ ​you​ ​have​ ​been?​ ​​  This is a hard one. I have lived all over and travel often. Each place has a quality that I enjoy but there is no place like Texas. There is something to say about the summer in Colorado, the trees in Georgia, and the beaches in California.

    5. Vocation​ ​tell​ ​us​ ​about​ ​your​ ​work.​ ​​​ ​  I own TechXperts.guru, a one stop shop technology firm. I offer repairs, websites, and online marketing. I started this business with one thing in mind. To serve.

    6. What​ ​is​ ​your​ ​guilty​ ​pleasure?​ ​​  I have a few. I love strategy roleplaying games and I love-love a semi-frozen coke.

     Club President 2017-18

    1. What​ ​brought​ ​you​ ​to​ ​Rotary?​ ​​During​ ​my​ ​last​ ​year​ ​with​ ​the​ ​Kennedale​ ​Independent​ ​School​ ​District,​ ​I began​ ​attending​ ​Rotary​ ​meetings.​ ​I​ ​was​ ​drawn​ ​to​ ​the​ ​camaraderie​ ​among​ ​individuals​ ​in​ ​the​ ​community whom​ ​I​ ​admired.​ ​The​ ​motto,​ ​“Service​ ​above​ ​self”​ ​reflected​ ​the​ ​family​ ​values​ ​with​ ​which​ ​I​ ​was​ ​raised. The​ ​more​ ​I​ ​learned​ ​about​ ​Rotary,​ ​the​ ​more​ ​I​ ​realized​ ​that​ ​I​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​be​ ​affiliated​ ​with​ ​this​ ​organization.

    2. Who​ ​had​ ​the​ ​biggest​ ​impact​ ​on​ ​the​ ​person​ ​you​ ​have​ ​become?​ ​​My​ ​father​ ​had​ ​the​ ​biggest​ ​impact​ ​upon the​ ​person​ ​I​ ​have​ ​become.​ ​He​ ​was​ ​magical​ ​in​ ​so​ ​many​ ​ways​ ​and​ ​larger​ ​than​ ​life.​ ​At​ ​6’2”,​ ​he​ ​was​ ​a remarkably​ ​thoughtful,​ ​gentle​ ​soul​ ​with​ ​a​ ​great​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​humor​ ​and​ ​a​ ​contagious​ ​laugh.​ ​He​ ​always​ ​took me​ ​to​ ​Sunday​ ​School​ ​(didn’t​ ​miss​ ​a​ ​Sunday​ ​for​ ​13​ ​years)​ ​and​ ​afterward​ ​to​ ​a​ ​little​ ​restaurant​ ​called​ ​the Blue​ ​Circle​ ​for​ ​a​ ​soft​ ​drink​ ​(a​ ​real​ ​treat​ ​for​ ​me).​ ​When​ ​I​ ​talked,​ ​he​ ​stopped​ ​whatever​ ​he​ ​was​ ​doing​ ​to listen​ ​to​ ​me.​ ​We​ ​would​ ​go​ ​on​ ​Sunday​ ​rides​ ​with​ ​the​ ​family​ ​and​ ​he​ ​would​ ​point​ ​out​ ​to​ ​whomever​ ​was​ ​in the​ ​car​ ​the​ ​beauty​ ​all​ ​around​ ​us.​ ​He​ ​was​ ​very​ ​grateful​ ​for​ ​the​ ​people,​ ​the​ ​surroundings,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​things​ ​in his​ ​life.​ ​He​ ​had​ ​special​ ​ways​ ​of​ ​making​ ​that​ ​gratitude​ ​known.

    3. Name​ ​something​ ​you​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​accomplish​ ​BEFORE​ ​you​ ​die.​​ ​I​ ​want​ ​to​ ​obtain​ ​my​ ​master​ ​gardener certificate​ ​and​ ​I​ ​want​ ​to​ ​finish​ ​the​ ​repair​ ​on​ ​my​ ​home​ ​after​ ​the​ ​foundation​ ​disaster​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​years ago.

    4. Where​ ​is​ ​the​ ​most​ ​beautiful​ ​place​ ​you​ ​have​ ​been?​ ​​Depends​ ​upon​ ​how​ ​one​ ​defines​ ​beautiful. Sometimes​ ​it​ ​is​ ​the​ ​scenery.​ ​Sometimes​ ​it​ ​is​ ​the​ ​people.​ ​Sometimes​ ​it​ ​is​ ​the​ ​artwork.​ ​Sometimes​ ​it​ ​is​ ​in the​ ​movement.​ ​I​ ​see​ ​beauty​ ​almost​ ​everywhere​ ​in​ ​ways​ ​that​ ​are​ ​incomparable,​ ​thanks​ ​to​ ​my​ ​Daddy.

    5. Vocation​ ​tell​ ​us​ ​about​ ​your​ ​work.​ ​​​ ​Since​ ​I​ ​retired​ ​from​ ​public​ ​education​ ​last​ ​year​ ​I​ ​have​ ​been​ ​involved​ ​as a​ ​volunteer​ ​with​ ​an​ ​organization​ ​called​ ​RESULTS.​ ​This​ ​organization​ ​envisions​ ​a​ ​future​ ​without​ ​poverty and​ ​advocates​ ​for​ ​federal​ ​legislation​ ​that​ ​can​ ​impact​ ​that​ ​future.​ ​Most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​issues​ ​we​ ​address​ ​involve public​ ​health​ ​and​ ​education.​ ​Although​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​national​ ​arm​ ​of​ ​the​ ​organization,​ ​I​ ​work​ ​with​ ​the​ ​global arm.​ ​​ ​This​ ​Friday,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​be​ ​attending​ ​a​ ​RESULTS​ ​Seeds​ ​of​ ​Hope​ ​dinner​ ​in​ ​Houston​ ​honoring​ ​Dr.​ ​​ ​Ricardo Nuila​ ​(perhaps​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​most​ ​amazing​ ​men​ ​alive​ ​-​ ​google​ ​him).​ ​The​ ​following​ ​week,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​be​ ​attending a​ ​dinner​ ​at​ ​the​ ​home​ ​of​ ​a​ ​fellow​ ​RESULTS​ ​member​ ​in​ ​Dallas​ ​and​ ​the​ ​guest​ ​will​ ​be​ ​Mohammad​ ​Yunus​ ​(a Nobel​ ​Peace​ ​prize​ ​winner​ ​for​ ​founding​ ​the​ ​Grameen​ ​Bank​ ​and​ ​pioneering​ ​the​ ​concepts​ ​of​ ​microcredit and​ ​microfinance).​ ​Such​ ​good​ ​things​ ​being​ ​done​ ​by​ ​so​ ​many​ ​people.​ ​Additionally,​ ​I​ ​am​ ​in​ ​the​ ​process​ ​of completing​ ​my​ ​training​ ​to​ ​become​ ​a​ ​CASA​ ​(Court​ ​Appointed​ ​Special​ ​Advocate)​ ​for​ ​children​ ​in​ ​custody​ ​of the​ ​state.

    6. What​ ​is​ ​your​ ​guilty​ ​pleasure?​ ​​Probably​ ​clothes​ ​and​ ​having​ ​someone​ ​clean​ ​my​ ​house.

    In communities with no services, incremental steps can go a long way

    When Rotary members tried to bring toilets to a remote island, the population wasn’t ready.

    The future: What can we expect when we get there?

    As we stand at the threshold of the third decade of the 21st century, imagine where we’re

    Why Rotarians should engage with program alumni

    When clubs cultivate relationships with Rotary alumni, both sides benefit.

    The sad truth about altruism is that there aren’t enough altruists

    The people who fill the truly essential roles in society are often in short supply

    History: Rotary in Spain survives challenges

    After successfully establishing a presence in Great Britain and Ireland, Rotary expanded its reach to mainland Europe with the chartering of a club in Madrid, Spain, on New Year’s Day 1921.
