Take Me Out To The Ballgame…..
Yes, come join with your Rotarian friends and families on July 22 at the ballpark (Globe Life Field) and cheer the home team on as they play those dastardly Dodgers from Los Angeles.
We want to begin the new Rotary year with some fun and fellowship. We are inviting our Rotarian friends in our neighboring District 5790 (Fort Worth and beyond) to join us , too.
This is an opportunity for clubs to come to the game together and, of course, for individual Rotarians to bring their families to the ballpark for a fun afternoon.
Tickets are $52 each (include a $20 contribution to Polio+), our way of supporting Rotary’s effort to end this terrible disease while being able to enjoy the fun of being together.
Roundtrip Bus to Ranger Game -$23/per person. Even better, we are chartering a bus to take us to Globe Life Field!Roundtrip bus fare is $23/per person.The bus will depart promptly at 1:30PM from Prosperity Bank, 707 E Arapaho Rd, Richardson 75081. Please arrive by 1:15PM.

From Jeff Sheehan, President-Elect of RCPC and President of the RCPC Foundation - 2022-23
The Rotary Club of Park Cities' Communities Fund was originally sponsored in the 1960’s by the Rotary Club of Park Cities (“RCPC”) for the purpose of providing an enduring legal entity through which members and friends of the Rotary Club of Park Cities might make donations for the good of mankind and the Dallas community. The fund continues to this day to consider internal and external grant requests submitted on the RCPC Foundation online grant portal found on the club website.
The following grant requests were approved at our November 2022 meeting:
• $1,000 grant for scholarships for Hillcrest High School for scholarship to honor RCPC long term member C.C. Collie
• $5,413.44 grant for Equest
• $6,000 grant for the Agape Clinic
The Executive Team denied the following grant request:
• Addison Midday grant request for Genesis Women's Shelter
The fund balance as of November 30, 2022, was $1,710.729.17. The Communities Foundation of Texas manages the RCPC Foundation Fund. The amount available each year for grants is derived from an average over 16 quarters (4 years), then, 4.5% of that amount is the amount available for distribution the following year.
Our Sgt. at Arms Kathy Wall for 2022-2023, reported that the RCPC Foundation Fund donations thru 11-30-2022 totals $9,116.00 from 37 donors!
To the Foundation Fund: $9,116.00 from 37 donors
To the Bonton Clinic: $200.00 from 1 donor
Your contributions make an incredible difference in the amount we are able to distribute to worthy local organizations.
