Board member Coffee Conner then introduced our speaker, Past President Morris Wilkes, whose
topic was “The Rotary Club of Lubbock – 85 Years of Service.” Morris is a native of Lubbock and a
graduate of Texas Tech University’s College of Mass Communications. Currently, he is owner of the
Wilkes Company – a government relations, public affairs and political consulting firm – and is Vice
President of Public Affairs for Cox Communications. Morris has served the Rotary Club of Lubbock
and the community at large in numerous leadership positions. Recently, he was named an
Outstanding Alumnus of the Texas Tech University’s College of Mass Communications.
In his talk, Morris reviewed the numerous service activities of the Rotary Club of Lubbock over the
past 85 years since its founding on February 21, 1921, emphasizing high ethical standards,
understanding, peace and goodwill. He asked all District Governors, Club Presidents, and members
of the Board of Directors, both past and present, to stand and be recognized. Over the years, the
Rotary Club of Lubbock – the longest serving service club in the community – has initiated a large
number of beneficial community programs, including the loan fund for Texas Tech students, the
children’s health clinic, the South Plains Food Bank and its associated Breedlove Dehydration Plant
and Rotary Apple Orchard, and the Rotary cerebral palsy treatment center. Well over one million
dollars has gone into these programs. Currently, the Club is developing a meditation center
associated with the recently constructed Veterans Memorial in Lubbock.
President Jim Carpenter thanked Morris for his presentation and announced that, as a token of our
appreciation, his name will be added to the Wall of Honor at the South Plains Food Bank Rotary
Apple Orchard.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. by David Hentges
