We had music from Bill Burgin owner of Guitars etc. and crew providing music to folks at the Pavilion. Kim Roulias Realty made our music possible as well! Seascape Travel and Events provided prizes. Grammyjax provided the supplies for the winners, route signs, and flags! It was a great time and for a good cause! Our club will be able to contribute a little over $400 to Polio!

In 1932, Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created The Four-Way Test. The Test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions:
THE 4-WAY TEST OF THE THINGS WE THINK, SAY OR DO
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
5. and Will It Be Fun!

What a loving and supportive community we have here at Cedar Creek Lake! The Rotary Club of Cedar Creek Lake is extremely grateful to Brookshire’s of Mabank for allowing our club to collect donations for local food pantries this morning. We were at Brookshire’s from 9a.m. to noon and collected for three pantries - Tool Community Food Pantry, Mabank Area Good Samaritans (MAGS) and The Refuge.
Each hour two or more baskets were filled with food donations in addition to cash given by generous patrons of the store. We couldn’t be more delighted with the generosity and kindness shown to us by the community. Thanks to the Rotary volunteers who showed up to help and many, many thanks to all those who gave. We truly serve a loving community!
