Not to mention all your stuff.<br />
waters receded, helped purchase building materials and participated<br />
in the repairs. We want our unfortunate neighbors to know that we<br />
are here to help long after the disaster passes for as long as they need<br />
us. As participants in Fort Bend Recovers and in collaboration with<br />
partners across our Fulshear-Simonton community, the Rotary Club<br />
of Brazos River continues to help folks affected by Hurricane Harvey<br />
and its floodwaters.<br />
Although the disaster struck in late August 2017, the recovery and<br />
rebuild process will take many, many more months and our Club intends<br />
to continue serving through this long haul. Stay informed about<br />
the needs of our neighbors as they rebuild their lives and please help<br />
through your gifts of treasure and/or ability. Email us @ BrazosRiver-<br />
Rotary@gmail.com if you’d like to help or have questions. Thank you!<br />
Let me help you get the protection you need.<br />
I know home insurance. I can help you protect<br />
your home and everything in it. Call me today to<br />
discuss your coverage options.<br />

In October, the club donated funds to the Fulshear-Simonton Fire<br />

ROTARY CLUB OF BRAZOS RIVER<br />
SERVICE ABOVE SELF<br />
The Rotary Club of Brazos River is a community service organization<br />
whose membership represents the area from West Katy to Simonton,<br />
including Fulshear and Weston <strong>Lakes</strong>. The Club ended a busy 2017<br />
with a list of impressive accomplishments. In the wake of Hurricane<br />
Harvey, which brought destructive flooding to many homes in our<br />
neighborhoods, club members volunteered to clean up after flood<br />
In December, learning that there were families in our community who<br />
were not going to have a Christmas because of Harvey’s continuing<br />
effect, Club members stepped in and created an Adopt-A-Family for<br />
Christmas project.<br />
Additionally, members of the club volunteer at the monthly Family<br />
Hope Food Fair. Hundreds of families come on the second Saturday<br />
of each month to receive food and other items that are available.<br />
