THIS WEEK'S MEETING...
Please welcome District 6380 Governor Bala Murthy!
So far, we have discussed two of our "Jump Start Initiatives" which you identified during our Visioning process earlier in the year - a Service Committee, to help identify and manage a wide range of service opportunities for our members, and also a Social Committee, to help us have more fun together.
The third initiative that you identified is a "Rotaract Committee" to bring to fruition something special we have been talking about for a while, an All Abilities Rotaract Club. Connie Conklin is taking the lead on this important initiative. If this is where your heart is, contact Connie, cccconk12@aol.com. Many hands make light work!
Check the next bulletin for information about our fourth and final "Jump Start Initiative". We have a lot of exciting things going on this year - thanks to all of you!
Our very own Dr. Janet Burns pointed out that there is a major article about the Guatemala Literacy Project in this month's ROTARIAN monthly magazine. I am going to have to dig it out from my foot-high stack of reading material. Janet Burns has been our club's liaison for this wonderful project and has visited Guatemala more than a few times. Ask her about it and how our Foundation has supported this charity.
Rhonda Callahan from The Torch and Torch 180 has sent some information regarding their FUN event coming up on October 1st!
The Torch is a previous MITT beneficiary and they are running on cylinders! This amazing duo organization is making a difference in the lives of the participants and the community.
Please see the following sites as well as the descriptive attachment Rhonda's shared.
Come celebrate 25 years of Reaching Higher and 25 years of helping kids be the best they can be! I know this year's gala is going to be even more fun and more special than our normal yearly event, and I sure hope to see some of my LSRC friends there for this special evening. Mark your calendars for the evening of Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Westin Book Cadillac building in Downtown Detroit.
THANK YOU for supporting Reaching Higher, the most effective program of its kind.
