HEARTS for Children CPS Adoption Fair is a Rotary Community Corp created by The Rotary Club of Houston. We are looking for 15 volunteers to help with the event. Volunteers should arrive no later than 9:15 AM. No children under the age of 18 are allowed to volunteer at this event. At the event prospective adoptive parents with approved home studies mingle with children between the ages of 5 and 17 who are in the custody of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services- Children’s Protective Services Division and looking for their forever family. Through the generosity of the Rotary Club of Houston the children and prospective adoptive parents get to know each other in a fun-filled relaxed environment with interactive games, photo booth, a visit from the Texan’s mascot, service dog, Microsoft station, DJ and lunch. Club members arrive at 9 a.m. to set up games/crafts, etc. for the children; we will all relax playing the games. Vetted adoptive parents arrive later and take our places with the children. Since we began this program there have been over 70 successful adoptions from first meetings at Hearts for Children Adoption Fair. Some special guests usually include TORO, Texans Mascot, our favorite Therapy Dog, a DJ, and Microsoft traveling game corner. |

Michael Hagerty "Houston Matters: The Daily Guide to All Things Houston." For the past ten years, Michael Hagerty has worked as the senior producer for Houston Matters, the daily radio show and podcast about all things Houston that's heard Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. on Houston Public Media (KUHF/88.7FM), our city's NPR and PBS station (KUHT/Ch. 8).

He lives with his wife, Melanie (a Houston native), in Clear Lake in a home built for the original NASA employees (how Houston is that?) with his two children, Louis (4), and Cora (2) and cat, Nunzio. He grew up outside Chicago in northwest Indiana before moving to Greater Houston at age ten and loves Houston so much he roots for the Astros almost as hard as he does his first baseball love, the Chicago Cubs. |

BECAUSE YOU HAVE REPEATEDLY ASK & REASKED – President Kenneth Mattox has put together a tabletop panel of individuals including himself, Roberto Canavati. Dr. David Persse, Dr. James Harrell, Laura Jahns, Annie Song Torres & others who routinely aid others in “Innovative 24 Access in Navigating Recognizing and Responding to potentially life threating medical conditions.” Without any HIPPA violations, real life cases will be presented and discussed. Houston is home to some of the most fantastic medical, psychiatric, and surgical care anywhere in the world, but is worthless if it cannot be accessed when needed. Mechanisms to get the right person, to the right place, to see the right provider, in the right time, will be discussed. Every single person attending Rotary Club weekly meetings has experienced those very scary sinking feelings when encountering signs, symptoms, and fears that these perhaps represent the signals that immediate health access is indicated, but concern that an expensive extraneous workup might need to be avoided. Various public, private, and even purchased services have been arranged, with names such as “Care Navigator; Concierge Services; VIP Response; and 24 Access” are descriptors of existing vehicles to speedy and professional screening and therapeutic evaluation and care. We will be emphasizing the symptoms which should NOT be ignored and what to do for:
There WILL be time for questions from the floor. You may want to have some paper to take notes. Kenneth L, Mattox, MD |

| When: | March 4, 2023 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM |
| Where: | Rise Against Hunger - Houston Warehouse 8901 Jameel Rd, Ste. 130 Houston, TX 77040 |
About Rise Against Hunger Watch Video https://youtu.be/TI9LOljt1RU
For the first time since the pandemic, we are able to open up the event to Rotarians who would like to be present in person to be part of the celebration.
Franklin Elementary School at 7101 Canal St 77011 will be the host location. Their principal is very excited and will be an enthusiastic participant.
We will arrive at approximately 8 am and be finished at 9:30 am. We will know in a few days how many schools can be included. Last year 28 schools participated in the live broadcast. Vern earned a huge home run and our deepest thanks by sharing the excitement with a generous friend who donated an additional $47,000 to cover the rest of the third grades in HISD. ❤️
All third graders in Franklin will be in one location and will be linked with the students in all other participating schools for parents and friends to watch via TEAMS. You will not need to register for the VIPS a program-but will need to sign in for a badge at the school.
The price per dictionary has gone up and to get an accurate number delivery to each school, Geovanny will be accepting the shipments and SRO’s (School Resource Officers) will deliver them to each campus. We certainly thank him for leading the charge with logistics and the HISD media department. We will be selecting as many schools as there are funds in order of need.
Please contact Kathy Fenninger or Monique Johnson-Garner with any questions.

Project C.U.R.E. Houston Executive Director
Sanjay Ramabhadran’s (Rahm-bud-run) leadership roles with Houston’s influential civic and business organizations have uniquely positioned him to help steer METRO’s future.
As chair of METRO’s Capital and Strategic Planning Committee, Sanjay helped oversee the planning, design, construction, and launch of major projects that enhance mobility throughout the region. These projects include a multi-million dollar program that goes far beyond the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act, ensuring universal accessibility for all passengers. Sanjay has worked to expand the METRO bus rapid transit service to include the Inner Katy Line, which would provide the much-needed connection between Uptown and downtown, and the University Line, which would be the longest Bus Rapid Transit line in the nation. He is working to enhance the travel time, reliability and access for 17 of METRO’s high ridership bus routes as part of the BOOST initiative.
A Registered Professional Engineer, he has served in senior executive and board roles with global and regional firms delivering transportation, water, and flood mitigation projects for 25 years. He brings this knowledge to METRO at a time when the agency is implementing a $3.5 billion bond program, METRONext, approved by voters in 2019.
Sanjay has served as President of The Texas Lyceum, an organization that brings together diverse opinions and expertise to focus on issues of critical importance to the future of Texas and catalyzes constructive private sector, public sector and individual responses to these issues. He is a former Chairman of the Board of Directors of Leadership Houston, a Senior Fellow of the American Leadership Forum, and former President of the HESS Club and the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Houston.
Sanjay’s talent for bringing business and civic leaders together to tackle big challenges has been a hallmark of his leadership from an early age. As such, in 2012 he was recognized among Ten Outstanding Young Americans(Open external link) by the United States Junior Chamber.
He is a graduate of Texas A&M University and a proud father and husband. He and his wife live in Houston, and their sons attend public schools.
