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!

It is such an honor to serve the children of our community in this way.

Today’s meeting was back at the Cedar Creek Country Club where we heard from local author Tammy Hornbeck who has written several books including poetry.
As a victim of abuse and while living in a group home at the age of 15, she began writing as a form of therapy. It took 20 years to get her first book, “Breaking the Silence” published and since then, has published several more. Very interesting and uplifting story she shared with us. You just never know what you will learn at a Rotary meeting!
Make plans to join us for next week’s meeting in the gardens at W456!
