Tom D. gave the RTOW-past D.G. spoke of the relationships he has made over his many years with the club. Along the family members who have belonged  that only strengthens the Rotarian bond. Tom reminded us of what efforts the club has had within the community over the years such as  a football stadium, an all-electric house, Camp Rotary and over $200K donated to PolioPlus.

 

Kevin Kelly was the music master and he selected “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” and “R-O-T-A-R-Y” which the club nailed.

 

Jeff Furest's extended family had a house fire so prayers were sent out for Goodwill.

 

Jeff “finest “Furest fired away for recognition. He snagged members lacking pins and badges for $1, not going to the boat outing cost us $1. Members who have gone on vacation or are going on vacation $3 for out of state and $1 for staying in state. Nancy Dedenbach got hit for $1 as past pres.; Gloria M. welcome speech violation $2; making Dorey N. welcome $2, the Kellys’ table got hit for $1. DG Jane anted up $2 for her vacation, Julie M and Ed Mastry $1 for clothes at the outing. Losing volleyball players at the outing $1. Bob Lee's swinging antics hit him for $2.50.

 

 

 

DG Jane McManus gave the club her vision for the district. First her background: Brighton Club Pres. 2011-2012. Both she and her husband Mike are Paul Harris Fellows.

 

Then Gov Jane presented a certificate to our newest member Dory N, for the 30th anniversary of women in Rotary.

 

She spoke of “Inspired game changers “and “Be the inspiration.” Rotarians are new vision people that want to create a lasting change locally and around the world. She was motivated by Pres. Barry Rassin's vision of “take the leap.” Her goals for District 6380: strengthen clubs’ membership and the communication gap between the 52 clubs in the district. Get out the word and check out the district website. She will be sending out “Save the Date” cards for upcoming events.

 

The District conference with take place May 3-4, 2019 at the Crowne Plaza Detroit and will feature “Rolling Down the River” cruise similar to the one taken last year. A new 6380 District passport is a new idea whereby if you go to another club you have them sign the document, pretty cool idea.
