Each month, you anxiously await the arrival of your Rotary magazine. As you diligently read cover-to-cover the articles in your recently-arrived copy, you may not have noticed the two page article starting at page 52. Pick it up and look again. Featured there is the story of a tire recycling project from the H2H 100 in 100 program. Rotarians in Mexico formed an organization to employ persons living in poverty generate income by learning how to turn waste tire material into saleable products such as flowerpots, vases and figurines..

The project was substantially funded and sponsored by the Texas Rotary Clubs of Cedar Creek Lake, Kilgore, Wills Point, and Athens, which contributed a total of $8,000 to the project. Shout-outs to PDG Mike Groom for working with these clubs to obtain their interest and support and the continuing work by PDG Ted Huffhines with District 5830 (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas) clubs.
