The Toys for Tots Fort Bend has already started with handing out boxes to the local Middle and High Schools to collect toys last week.

We appreciate your help and still need many more volunteer hours for the following dates. Please mark your calendars and help support giving toys to our local area kids that need the help!

The next time we need help is every evening from 15 December to 19 December - Monday through Friday at 5:30pm to 8:00pm to sort toys at First Colony Church of Christ, 2140 First Colony Blvd, Sugar Land, TX.

Distribution Day for toys will be on Saturday December 20th from 7:30am to 7:00pm.

You can Mark Your Calendar now and/or contact me back to volunteer or wait until next email comes out with shifts and times to volunteer for.

Look forward to seeing you, your friends, your family and anyone else that wants to volunteer. Volunteer ages are from 12 years old and older. We do not have facilities to watch younger kids.

To promote our upcoming speakers (we have some amazing ones coming up!) please click on the Facebook link below (see the round F logo on the bottom left), and to post their excitement/interest in having our new mayor present.  To open Calendar items, just go to our website, click on Calendar, then click on the person's name on 1/14.  You can already do this for each of the programs you listed - encourage everyone to do the same.

December 2025 ROTM

She’s been quietly working behind the scenes — hosting fundraiser-planning meetings at her home, volunteering for club events, and helping lay the groundwork for our next big fundraiser.
She’s always ready to lend a hand with a smile and a good sense of humor, keeping things running smoothly and lifting the club’s spirit even when no one’s watching. And most recently, she became the newest member of the Rotary Foundation, further showing her commitment to the work we do.
This month’s Rotarian of the Month is Mary Favre.

We are pleased that PCCPA has joined the Sugar Land Rotary Club as a Corporate Member. Their website is https://www.pccpa.org/
