Decatur and the greater Wise County area is a very special place. It is unlike anywhere else surrounding the DFW Metroplex. There is a lot of charm and friendly faces you will meet when you come out this way.
Our club is a mix of Wise County residents who meet weekly at the Decatur Conference Center for a meal, and to discuss how we can make the most impact in our communities and in the world. We practice Service Above Self which is the Rotary motto, and a motto Wise County believes in.
We hope that you will come share your Service Above Self ideas with us. Please use the “Contact Us” button so we can make sure we have a seat reserved for you.
Thank you,
Nate Mara

District Governor Pat Peters and her husband Jeff lead the club in Christmas carols.!
Rotarians preparing Christmas cards to be delivered to the Decatur Medical Center. Thanks to Heather Morgan for heading this up!
Dr. Chad Jones gave his member moment today. He is a long time teacher and current superintendent at Decatur ISD. . He is married with 3 daughters. He is a first generation college graduate. He loves helping others.
Gene Wilson gave a Rotary moment today. He stated that at his first rotary event he helped feed EVERYONE: participants, families, and guests and then was asked to umpire a game. That experience led him to join. That Service Above Self was all it took.
Ron Barnes with Feeding Wise Kids was our speaker today. This 501C3 was formed because of a need a teacher highlighted at church. There were kids at school that had no food over the weekend. The need has grown and the organization now provides weekend meals for over 600 youth all over Wise County. They work with schools to identify those in need. There are no paid employees and administrative costs are covered by donations specifically designated for that purpose. For more information go to feedingwisekids.org
Rod Zuniga received his Paul Harris Society recognition chevron at our meeting today. Thank you for you support of the Rotary Foundation. After this Rod lead our club in a visioning session where we gathered information from our members on where we see our club in the future!
Decatur Rotarians Danny Cross, Rod Zuniga and Lannie Noble presented Decatur Interact Director Joe Garcia and Interact President Ashlynn Miller with their club charter bell. The Decatur Rotary Club sponsors and supports this club.
Rotarians rang the bell at Walmart to raise money for the Salvation Army Red Kettle drive. So rewarding and inspiring to see the public step up to help. And the kids loved helping by ringing the bell when someone got tired.
Decatur Rotarians collected items and fill 82 shoe boxes for operation Christmas child helping kids around the globe.
What a great time we had at our Thanksgiving meeting. Great food with great Rotarians celebrating this special time of the year.
We welcomed our newest member. Lily Nguyen! Welcome to the family!
And DG Pat presenting our recognition banner for our support of the Rotary Foundation!
Great work Decatur Rotarians!
And during our Rotary moment Barrie Shults spoke about Rotary Action groups. After watching the movie Sound of Freedom and the recent events in Wise County se sought out and joined the Rotary Action Group Against Slavery. Thank you for educating our club and stepping out to help make a difference.
And if that was not enough the club packed 82 boxes for Operation Christmas Child.
.
And to top off the day members passed out the last of our dictionaries. We had so much fun presenting the dictionaries at Rann Elementary, Young Elementary, Stem Academy at Enis Elementary, Carson Elementary, Victory Christian Academy, and Gospel Life Christian Academy
