Rotary District 5790 Governor Kayla Christianson said a lot of people are Rotarians – they just don't know it.

That is because they share Rotarians' desires and efforts to serve their communities. Identifying those people and bringing them into Rotary would not only help clubs grow and thrive but would also help Rotary Club fulfill its mission and vision of “Service Above Self.”

Kayla, pictured center, visited Rotary Club of Mineral Wells on Wednesday sharing her vision of Rotary and her goals for the district during her governorship. Also pictured are District 5790 Governor-elect Dan Steele and club President Karyn Bullock, presenting Kayla with a gift basket to honor her visit.

Whether you have two legs or four, Mineral Wells Police Sgt. Neal Davis serves and protects.

The Mineral Wells Animal Shelter falls under the operational control of the MWPD, and Sgt. Davis directly oversees the shelter for the department and the citizens of Mineral Wells and Palo Pinto County. Thanks to a participatory funding agreement with the county, the shelter is available to all county residents.

The shelter is located at 101 F Road 2256 at U.S. Highway 281 South. The shelter offers a variety of free and low-cost services throughout the year such as vaccinations, microchipping and adoption fairs. The shelter often operates at capacity but works hard with various animal foster and adoption organizations to place animals and give them a chance at finding a permanent and loving home.

Program chair Crystal Cameron brought Sgt. Davis to Wednesday's meeting as this past week's guest speaker.
