The Addison Rotary Club Twitter Rotarians have not only been present for major events in history—we’ve been a part of them. We persevere in tough times.

From the beginning, three key traits have remained strong throughout Rotary:

We’re truly international. Only 16 years after being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents. Today we’re working together from around the globe both digitally and in-person to solve some of our world’s most challenging problems. During WWII, Rotary clubs in Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Japan were forced to disband. Despite the risks, many continued to meet informally and following the war’s end, Rotary members joined together to rebuild their clubs and their countries. Our commitment to service is ongoing. We began our fight against polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. By 2012, only three countries remain polio-endemic—down from 125 in 1988.

Every successful Addison Rotary Open needs strong leadership. This year, that responsibility apparently fell to our youngest volunteer, Myles Meek.

Myles took his duties seriously. He inspected the driving range, personally verified that the golf carts were operating correctly, supervised the adults, and joined his parents, Malyssa and Taylor Meek, at the glove table to make sure golfers were properly equipped. He even took a moment to show Ronald McDonald the proper technique for a thumbs-up. 👍

Fortunately, Myles came well prepared for the assignment. Rotary runs in the family.

Myles is a third-generation Addison Rotarian. His dad, Taylor Meek , is a current member of our club. His grandfather, Bruce Meek, was a beloved longtime Addison Rotarian and past president of our club. With his parents volunteering right alongside him, it was very much a family operation.

We think Bruce would have been awfully proud to see Myles on the job.

And judging from these photos, the Addison Rotary Open appears to be in very capable hands for years to come. 💙💛

36th Annual Addison Rotary Open a Resounding Success!

On September 14, the Addison Rotary Club hosted its 36th Annual Addison Rotary Open at Gleneagles Country Club, benefiting the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas.

More than 190 golfers filled two courses for a day of golf, fellowship, and giving. Our Title Sponsor, the Miter Foundation, played a major role in making the tournament possible.

Final numbers are still being tabulated, but we expect this year’s gift to exceed last year’s $285,000 contribution to Ronald McDonald House of Dallas.

That is an extraordinary accomplishment for a Rotary club of just 40 members—and a reflection of what can happen when business leaders and professionals roll up their sleeves and work together to serve others.

Thank you to the Miter Foundation and to every sponsor, golfer, volunteer and supporter who helped make the day such a success.

Members of the Addison Rotary Club were back in the kitchen at Ronald McDonald House Dallas, preparing and serving dinner for families staying at the House.

It’s a simple act of service, but an important one. Families facing a child’s serious illness have enough to worry about. Providing a warm meal is one small way we can help make a difficult day a little easier.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to support Ronald McDonald House Dallas and the families it serves.

Cooking up Comfort. Serving our Community. Join us and make the world better!

Secure Our Seniors' Safety - August 28, 2026 | Addison Rotary

A serial killer, indicted for 22 homicides, murdered our loved ones in their residences for jewelry. The majority of the crimes occurred in four senior independent living establishments in Dallas, Plano and Frisco, Texas. Over time, we learned these establishments knew a stranger was wandering their properties, unattended deaths were reported. The management said nothing to the residents of the crimes occurring.

Shannon Gleason Dion is a founding Board Director of the non-profit Secure Our Seniors’ Safety (SOSS). The organization was formed in 2019 in response to the lack of security in senior living establishments. This lack of security enabled Billy Chemirmir, one of Texas’ most prolific serial killers, to smother to death over two dozen seniors in their homes and steal their valuables. It is the mission of SOSS to enact legislation to require common sense security measures that the industry has failed to enact on its own and increase awareness of vulnerabilities in senior living. SOSS has continued expanding its advocacy, public education, and legislative engagement to strengthen safety standards in senior living communities.
