HONOR MURPH & SUPPORT SCOUTING Hey everybody,
I received the attached information concerning a special event being held by the Boy Scouts. They will be honoring our own Sheriff Michael Murphy as "Distinguished Citizen" at a breakfast on May 20th 7 a.m. They have extended an invitation to our membership.
I am planning to attend and would love to have a nice representation from our club there. I hope you'll seriously consider this chance to help honor our great Sheriff and member.
If you're so inclined there are opportunities to be a sponsor for the event as well. Registration is $50 pp and can be done via mail/check or online. Hope to see you there!

LSRC President STEVE GRONOW, VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER There was a car fire at one of Steve Gronow's developments off Latson Road, and he got the emergency call. Quickly grabbing a foreman and a water tanker, Super Steve dove into action. When he got there, a brand new Dodge Ram Truck was ablaze and was threatening to catch fire to a new home under construction just a few feet away. The Chestnut Builders team sprayed water on the truck and on the house to keep it from going up in flames. So about three minutes later (literally) the Brighton Area Firefighters arrived with Chief Michael O'Brian aboard the firetruck. He was amazed at how well Steve and his crew had contained the fire... and offered him a job as a volunteer firefighter straightaway! [I think it pays better than $16 an hour. You're our hero, Steve.] I'LL MEET YOU AT THE 19TH TEE From Jim Gilmore, past Michigan governor and all things sports: It's time for the 18th annual Fowlerville Rotary Golf Outing. It will be held at Oak Lane Golf Course in Webberville, June 11, 2021. We have at least seven signed up and need to round out our two foursomes. I'll get us registered and all you need do is show up with clubs, balls, and a check for $75 made out to the Fowlerville Rotary Club. We've added Rob Johnson, Harvey, Ramesh and Jim W to Sara and Dianne Romsek. Email me. Waddayasay?  We usually support them with a foursome or two. [So far we have about six signed up.] It is one of the more reasonably priced (at $75 per golfer) and one of the most enjoyable outings as we support our fellow Rotarians to the west. It is a 4 person scramble format with prizes to the top Men's, Women's and Mixed Teams. Since we are fellow Rotarians, we can pay at the door with cash or check. To register, just send me your name and email and I'll complete the forms for our team(s). Time to get the clubs dusted off... Jim Gilmore MEET THE NEW GOVERNOR JULY 22nd No, she's not replacing Gretchen Whitmer [you wish], but our own Brenda K. "Woo-Woo" Tipton as we welcome her as our Michigan Rotary Governor. Details to follow, but we need to provide some labor to make this a memorable party outdoors at a Brighton Recreation Area park. Sign up with Woo-Woo! If you are NOT getting the bulletin, or would like to add someone to our email list, please let the editor know!~ |
Some of today’s youth’s biggest role models are superheroes, and it was no different for me. I can still remember the awe I felt watching Superman battling with the forces of evil. But as I grew up, I started encountering many problems that the superheroes on TV never taught me how to solve.
