TOUR de LIVINGSTON is Oct. 10
On Sunday, October 10th I'll be riding in Howell Rotary Club's 14th Annual Tour de Livingston [a Bicycle Ride]!
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the money raised goes to Livingston County United Way. Last year, Howell Rotary Club presented a check to United Way for more $30,000 with the proceeds from the 2020 Tour de Livingston.
Please join me by being part of my effort in this fantastic fundraiser for Livingston County's most needy.
Hello Fellow Livingston Sunrise Rotary Members!
I am riding in the 2021 Howell Rotary Club's Tour de Livingston next weekend and the events proceeds are earmarked to help transform the quality of life for struggling local working families, through focused programs and initiatives via the Livingston County United Way.
I would sincerely appreciate your support for this fundraiser and my goal. You can donate now and by following the attached link!
You can give with any major credit card and it only takes a couple of minutes of your time. I appreciate it so very much.
Thank you for joining me!

LSRC VICTORY GARDEN CLEANS UP
There's not quite so much work to do as this time of year for the harvest, so a workday has been re-scheduled later this month. We need Rotarians to wield shovels and rakes and implements of destruction to clear out the garden, put the scraps into the compost pile and put away everything for the winter. [I think. I may be wrong. Won't be the last time. The Garden collected more than 2,000 pounds of fresh produce for Gleaners this year says Jiim Watters. A big thank you to Stephanie Nerby for coordinating this year's efforts.]
If you have any questions please contact Jim Watters 810-225-4420. Or John R. Scotta at 248-535-7466. Join them Saturday mornings to help haul in this fall's harvest!
I hope you can join us Wednesday evening, October 27th, for the return of the LIVE, IN PERSON tailgate fund-raiser.
The VINA Tailgate has been a Livingston County tradition since 2008 but we had to go virtual in 2020…it just wasn’t the same. The competition for fundraising supremacy for VINA between “Sparty” and “Blue” just doesn’t work as well in the virtual world.
BTW, Sparty now leads the annual affair 7 wins to 5…just saying, Michigan, it might be time to step up your game.
We need you back; both in person and as a Sponsor but we understand that some of you might still be hesitant to attend in person. Please consider purchasing tickets, a making a donation or becoming a sponsor through the VINA Tailgate Website. If you cannot attend, we’ll miss you, but our patients will be so grateful for whatever you can do. If you can come, you’re in for a fun evening of the Brighton HS Marching Band, silent auctions, $4$, games, more than a little trash talk and a surprise at the end…
Remember, more than your Team, VINA needs you. HERE is a very short video to remind you why we do what we do and a thank you message from our patients for all you’ve done.
Finally, thank you from me personally for supporting VINA. It means a lot to know you share my desire to help those in our community who cannot afford dental care.
Call me if you would rather write a check, have a cool auction item to donate or have any questions.
