Proposed by Yolanda Trahan, Sybil Webb joined Rotary in March of 2003.  At that time, she was the owner of Outside and In, a local retail store.

Sybil sold her business in 2005 and retired to enjoy her family and to get more involved in community, church, and Rotary. Married to Tandy Webb for 51 years, they have two children and four grandchildren, along with four great-grand-dogs and one great-grand cat! 

As a Rotary Past President, Sybil has been involved in many club and district projects and activities, but her real passion has always been for the youth, especially EarlyAct and Interact. Sybil’s philosophy has been that the youth are our future and her favorite quote is from American author Frederick Douglass: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.

-- George S. Patton

This Tuesday, there was a celebration at the Terrebonne General Blood Bank this morning as Pete donated his 200th pint of blood. His family and friends showed up. They had a cake, and gave him a jacket and a watch. Way to go, Pete!

A Game Warden is walking along a beach one morning when he spots a man with a bucket of lobsters. The Warden walks up to the man, flashes his badge and says, "You're in big trouble, buddy. Poaching lobsters is a serious offense."

The man answers, "You've got it all wrong, these lobsters are my pets! Every morning I take them out for some exercise. I let them swim around in the ocean for a few minutes and then whistle them back in."

The Warden looks at the man skeptically and says, "Okay then, prove it."

The man proceeds to throw the lobsters into the ocean and both he and the Warden stand there waiting. After a couple minutes the Warden looks at the man and says, "That's long enough, now whistle your lobsters back in."

The man turns to the Warden and says "Lobsters? What lobsters?"
