The Rotary Club of East Montgomery County, will be hosting its 15th annual Spelling Bee for adults and high school students on Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024.
This event runs from 5:30 to 8 pm. This is no regular spelling bee! A team of three people works together to attempt to spell each word challenge correctly. You can collaborate with each other about the correct spelling of the word challenge. You can even write it down on a white board to ensure it is spelled correctly before the final spelling submission. No one spells alone or stands up in front of the audience. The registration fee is $150.00 for a team and it includes two passes that can be redeemed when you mis-spell a word to allow you continue in the Spelling Bee Competition – sort of like a “get out of jail free” card! They are called “stings.”
For an additional $100, you can acquire an additional four stings to continue competing in the Spelling Bee with incorrectly spelled words. This Spelling Bee is a lot of fun while raising money for scholarships. These scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors at Caney Creek High School, Porter High School, New Caney High School, and Splendora High School. The scholarships are awarded at the College Connections Program at Lone Star College Kingwood in the Spring. This fun educational event is all about raising awareness in the community for education advancement. I dare you to put together a threesome to out spell the other adults in the room.

The Rotary Club of The Woodlands is starting the celebrations of its 50th year. Dr. Robert Schucker has compiled a book of pictures and history of the Rotary Club’s contributions to Montgomery County and the World! This book will be issued just as The Woodlands Community celebrates its 50th Anniversary. Look for some fun celebration events in the coming months for this world class organization.
The Rotary Club of Conroe is resurrecting its Spirits of Texas Fund Raiser on Tuesday, Oct. 29, just two days before Halloween. Costumes are optional. This event will feature Texas wines and Texas beers to provide another aspect of what the spirits are about. To add to the event’s mystique, the event will be held at The Table on Madeley in historic downtown Conroe. Light finger foods will be available with more substantial foods available at the food trucks on the site. The covered outdoor stage will feature live Texas music for patrons’ enjoyment under the huge oak trees covering the site. The weather should be fine for the beautiful weather during the end of October. Tickets will be available online at www.conroetable.com or from Conroe Rotarians for $50 per Adult. This is a family affair with food trucks feeding those with big appetites being adults and children. Funds raised for this event will benefit the education of our local youth through the Rotary Club of Conroe Foundation.
