Benefiting the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas
Addison Rotary Open: Benefiting the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas
The annual Addison Rotary Open golf tournament is scheduled for Monday September 14th, 2009, at Glen Eagles Country Club in Plano, TX. With your help, we hope to raise over $200,000 for the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas.

Many Addison Rotarians have served supper at Ronald McDonald House. If you've never done it before, you should consider helping out. It is fun, and you get to serve an appreciated home cooked meal to some people being helped by RMH in their time of need. We met people who had severely premature births, children with brain tumors who will live their lives blind if they survive 70 weeks of chemotherapy and people who have had their lives put on hold or just turned upside down as they struggle with medical problems that we pray none of us have to endure.

We are proud to organize the Addison Rotary Open in support of the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas. It is a wonderful and worthy charity benefiting Texans who really need our help.

India Orphanage Matching Grant Project
The Addison Rotary Club partnered with the Rotary Club of Madras Marina in Chennai, India in a matching grant to help improve the Samajam Orphanage located in the heart of Chennai. Specifically, we are putting in a clean water system, to help reduce the risk that the children at the orphanage contract water borne diseases. Here are some pictures of the progress of this great project:

 		Outbound Youth Exchange

Operation Veteran Support
Many local Rotary clubs are actively involved in efforts to support our men & women in uniform. Check out www.rotaryvets.com to find out ways you can help.
