A member of the Bixby Rotary Club since 2003, I have been heavily involved with the annual BBQ and Blues Festival which truly has become Bixby's largest and most successful community event. From the beginning, the festival was designed as a "family friendly" event. There's plenty of music, plenty of activities for the children, and plenty of great tasting BBQ. Not only does this fundraiser provide a great time for all -- it also provides the funds which allow the Bixby Rotary Club to give back to the community both locally and even internationally. The proceeds go to such programs as "The Dictionary Project", supplying 800+ dictionaries to area third grade students. Also, "Shop with a Cop" pairs students with police officers and Rotarians to buy gifts for their families. The Bixby Christmas Parade is organized and sponsored by the BRC. It also donates to local community organizations such as the Bixby Outreach Center and the YMCA and to international organizations such as The Medical Supplies Network and Vision Quest Eye Glass Kits. Not only has my membership with BRC given me an opportunity to get involved with the community, it has also been the source of many new valued friendships
