Rotary Island is in bloom!
Between the cultivated plantings, the wild flowers and the gazebo Rotary Island is one of the most beautiful places in the summer! Take the opportunity to walk around the Island as it shows off this summer.
In the center of Alpena, along the bipath running adjacent to River street, tand across the river from the NOAA Sanctuary, Rotary Island can easily be accessed from downtown. It's a beautiful oasis of incredible blooms! Don't miss this gem!
Worth a short walk from downtown, right on the Thunder Bay River, visible from the 2nd and 9th avenue bridges.

Rotarians and guests gathered at Arzo Entertainment Park to say thanks (and roast!) to President Stacey for her service during 2022-2023, and welcome incoming President Ed to his year beginning July 1.
Much fun was had before dinner enjoying the many games and amenities at this gem of a park just north of Alpena. Joanne Gallagher was named Rotarian of the Year.
Our island gazebo has the phrase “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in several different languages. Recently, Rotarian Danielle Green caught some peace on the island between a cat and a turtle. Beautiful shot of nature at its best!
Just in time for graduation pictures. Rotarians and family members showed up in force to spruce up the Island!
Our club gathered with current and former members to celebrate 100 years of service to the Alpena area. We were treated to the beautiful space at Art in the Loft, fantastic food and ice sculptures by Jon Benson, music courtesy of Kat Tomaszewksi, delicious desserts from Annette Carlson, Refreshments by Party On LLC and beautiful floral centerpieces by Classic Designs. We were pleased to honor long term member Ralph Diethelm with an Honorary membership in the club, and enjoyed the Emcee skills of Mike Kelly. Many thanks to the committee members: John Benson, Ann Burton, Mary Cosbitt, Ann Diamond, Mary Dunckel, Jackie Nicoll and Wendy Servia.
On Saturday, November 20, a group of Rotarians added Christmas to the Island by decorating our gazebo and other island features. It's simply stunning! Make sure and stop by the Island after dark to check out their fine work!
Rotarian Mike Kelly caught these beautiful shots of Rotary Island at night. Keep checking to see what we have in store for the holidays!
In August, we had a great turnout for planting new landscaping on the Island. The 100th anniversary island improvements will continue through next year. Keep watching for more photos!

The flowers are blooming and we continue to make improvements on the island this summer in celebration of our club's 100th year of service to the Alpena area
We had a great turnout for our annual meeting that gave a huge "thanks" to outgoing president Wendy and a great big "welcome" to incoming president Joanne. We were pleased to recognize Chuck Sherwin as our Rotarian of the Year, and further recognize Danielle Green as our Rotarian of the Year for 2020-2021 since Covid kind of stole her thunder!
It's arrived! Our long-planned splash park will open to the public on Saturday, June 30.
