Yoakum Rotary News
The Rotary Club of Yoakum would like to thank our community for making the Third Annual Yoakum Rotary Club Sporting Clay Shoot a huge success. This clay shoot has become a great, fun-filled, family event and it has enabled our club to provide scholarships for YHS seniors, Christmas gifts for local nursing home residents, "I Like Me" books for Yoakum Kindergarten students and other local projects. Thank you for your continued support!
We are very grateful to Rotarian, Russell Goebel, for bringing this project to our club three years ago. Russell has worked throughout the year to ensure the success of this event. He has enlisted not only Yoakum Rotarians, but an army of his family and friends to volunteer. Also, a huge thanks to Rotarian Gery Maneth and his wife Jody. For three years, they have opened the gates of their beautiful Maneth Farms and graciously hosted the Sporting Clay Shoot.
