Welcome to The State of Rockwall!
Our City is one of the fastest growing in North Texas. Rockwall was founded in 1854 and is the County Seat of Rockwall County. Rockwall is approximately 22 miles east of downtown Dallas on Interstate 30 with a population of more than 50,000.

Andrea Woodworth has worked in sales with Cigna Healthcare for the past 17 years, specializing in employee benefit plans for small to mid-size employers. She is passionate about building relationships and helping businesses support the health and wellbeing of their teams.

Three years ago, Andrea and her husband moved to Heath after spending many years renovating homes together in East Dallas. Ready for a change of pace from city life, they were drawn to the strong sense of community they discovered in Rockwall County. Today, Heath is home to Andrea, her husband, and their two dogs, and a place where they look forward to putting down lasting roots.

Inspired by the spirit of service she found in the community, Andrea joined the Rockwall Women’s League. After witnessing the League’s significant impact on local nonprofits and scholarship programs, she knew she wanted to play a role in giving back. Now three years into her membership, Andrea serves as the Ball Chair for the League’s annual gala, where she is focused on helping refresh, rebuild, and modernize the organization’s signature fundraising event so it can continue to grow alongside the Rockwall community.

Andrea is grateful to bring the strategic and relationship-building skills she has developed throughout her professional career into her volunteer work, helping further the mission of the Rockwall Women’s League and the organizations it supports.

Our promise to the world remains unchanged: We will eradicate polio.

Through your dedication and advocacy, Rotary continues to support one of the most ambitious public health efforts in history. Since 2021, we’ve had a 17% increase in individual contributions to PolioPlus, a clear sign that our members and friends of Rotary remain deeply invested in the fight against polio.

Now is the time to remain focused and committed to this endeavor.

Our speaker this week is Randy Sinclair, a local WalMart manager.  He will share with us the challenges of running a supercenter, which is the country's largest grocery store, as well as a department store, a bakery, a pharmacy, and an auto store.  Within the stores are banks, Subway sandwich shops, vision centers, and much more.  Come to hear about all the logistics and issues that occur in running a 24/7 operation that focuses on WalMart's tradition of reinventing its offerings in a constantly changing market.    We will all gain a new understanding for this retail giant!!
