Montgomery County has five Rotary Clubs spread throughout the county. The Rotary Club of Conroe was established in 1932 and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Huntsville. The Rotary Club of The Woodlands was established fifty years ago and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Conroe. Over the years, Rotary Clubs were established in the areas of Lake Conroe, Magnolia, and East Montgomery County.
These five Club have helped each other over the years with the Rotary Club of Lake Conroe extending its fellowship and support to all of the County’s Rotary Clubs. These Rotary Clubs traditionally host “Pigskin Previews” hosting the head football coaches of the local high schools to talk about their approaches in their athletic programs. Rotary Clubs in Conroe and The Woodlands heard about their local athletic programs. Tomorrow, the Rotary Club of Magnolia will host their local high school head football coaches at noon at 11659 F. M 1488 in the Magnolia area. All are welcome to attend.
The Rotary Club of Magnolia is also known for its annual Nature and Outdoor Fair. The Magnolia Rotary Club, in partnership with the Lake Creek Greenway Partnership, announces its 2024 Fundraiser project to take place on Saturday November 9th from 11am to 3pm at the Magnolia ISD Event Center. Eighty plus exhibitors will be there to provide information about the outdoors in Montgomery County along with exhibits on “Mother Nature.”
Exhibitors range from Air Alliance Houston to Wildlife Federation and in between including the Sierra Club along with Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. This is a great Family Fun event. There will be a variety of live animals for you to learn about such as hawks, snakes, wolves, and more. One of this Club’s contribution to Montgomery County is its “pollinator gardens” which received special recognition in the Houston Chronicle. There is plenty of parking at this event located at 11659 F. M. 1488 in the Magnolia Area. Funds raised go to sponsoring high school junior students to the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA) and the Lone Star College Student Fund. Free tree seedlings will also be handed to this event’s visitors along with “handfuls” of information on Montgomery County.
Sponsorship to this events are still available by emailing GRBuckley419@comcast.net.
The Rotary Club of Conroe is gearing up to renew the Spirits of Texas featuring Texas Wines and Texas Beers on Tuesday evening, October 29, 2024. The recent pandemic sidelined this annual event until recently. This event features Texas Wines, Texas Beers, Texas foods, and Texas live music in historic downtown Conroe. This events pairs Texas spirits (i. e. wines and beers) with the spirits of Halloween and therefore, hence the name of Spirits of Texas. Costumes are optional. This will be a fun time for families with tickets at $50 per adult patron. Funds raised at this event will benefit the youth of Montgomery County.
