FOR THE LEADER IN YOUby Julia Bryant
Brave leaders disrupt industries through innovation,
stand firm in the face of opposition, and embrace risk.
Join a community inspired by those who demonstrate
bravery and leave equipped to take on your next leadership
challenge. Leadercast Rockwall takes place Friday, May 8
at Rockwall High School Performing Arts Center. This is
an opportunity to attend a powerful conference without
leaving town. Consider not only you or your business
colleagues attendance, but even the importance of sending
your high school or college student. Our hope for them
is to be better leaders in our communities, businesses,
organizations and homes. This leadership experience
is focused on building leaders worth following and isn’t
that what we want? Go to http://rockwallchamber.org/
leadercast-rockwall-2015/ and click on GET TICKETS.
Speaking of Brave Leaders, we are in the process of
interviewing potential candidates for our Board of
Directors. We need 5 new Board Members who will serve
a 3 year term, and one Board Member who will serve a 2
year term. All newly elected board members shall officially
take office as Directors when seated at the regular Board
Meeting in May and shall be participating as of that
meeting. Board Meetings occur the second (2nd) Monday
of every month at 12:00 noon in The Mellody Room at City
Hall. The government and policy-making responsibilities
of the Chamber shall be vested in the Board of Directors,
which shall control its property, be responsible for its
finances, and direct its affairs.
If you have an interest in being on our Board, or would like
to nominate someone, please contact the Chamber office.

Royse City Rotary Flag
Program makes an excellent
gift (for yourself or a
neighbor, family member,
teacher, boss, etc.!) The
American Flag will be
proudly displayed in front
of your home on seven (7)
selected flag holidays. For
an annual subscription
price of only $35.00, they
will place a 3-foot x 5-foot American Flag on a 10-foot pole
approximately 18 inches from the curb near your front walk.
A plastic pipe installed in the ground just below the surface
will hold the flag in place and will be low enough that it
will not interfere with regular lawn maintenance. They will
make every effort to place flags according to standard flag
etiquette. Seeing these flags lined up along the streets in
Royse City is truly an impressive site so we encourage you
to talk to your neighbors and get everyone involved! Due to
geographic limits, subscribers must live within Royse City
“City Limits.” Contact Bill or Mary Ellis at 972-636-2566.
My Excellent Valentine’s Date:
Short drive over to Greenville to The Texan Theatre.
Pull up out front and park. For free. Have someone hold
the door for us and check our coats. For free. Hostess give
us our tickets and gestures us toward the hors d’oeuvres &
open bar (or coffee bar if we choose). For free. We then step
into the limelight where we have our photo taken. For free.
As we walk into the theatre, fresh drink in hand, all the
ladies are given a rose. For free. Escorted inside the
exquisite venue, we are seated and served a chef prepared
meal which includes dessert and coffee – all while enjoying
a first class professional concert within a few yards of us.
After the show we are handed the photograph that we
took before entering the show to take home with us as a
souvenir. For free. The Historic Texan Theatre dates back
to the late 1800’s as the King opera House. This is a fabulous
entertainment facility that can host movie screenings,
theater productions, live music and private functions.
The coffee shop is open daily for lunch. It is truly a must
see. Visit their website at www.texantheatregreenville.com

MEET YOUR TEACHERmorgan power
Davis Elementary 4th Grade Teacher
Morgan Power began her
teaching career in 2007 at Davis
Elementary, teaching third, then
fourth grade. Morgan graduated
Magna Cum Laude from Texas
A&M University at Commerce
and serves on the District
Curriculum Advisory Team,
Instructional Leadership Team and as 4th Grade
Team Leader.
Davis Elementary’s 2014 Campus Teacher of the
Year expects her students to be the best version
of themselves. Ownership and independence are
imperative so students can become problem solvers.
Life is not black and white. There is no answer key, so
we must all think for ourselves to solve our problems.
We must take ownership. We must self-reflect and
we must persevere.
Morgan shares, “I strive to emphasize the importance of
creativity and critical thinking in my classroom. Posing
open-ended critical thinking questions to my class to
encourage a response that represent their own original,
personal ideas. We need to teach our children to weigh
and consider, to critique and recommend, to invent
and produce.”
Can you say beautiful? Mary is a stunning girl. She is current
on vaccines and her adoption fee is just $50. To come see
Mary or any of our shelter guests please contact Royse City
