The Million Dollar Dinner has a lofty goal: To raise a minimum of One Million Dollars for the programs of The Rotary Foundation in this Rotary year. This is accomplished through outright gifts or Bequest gifts to The Rotary Foundation (USA and Canada) with minimum donations of $10,000 USD from Family, friends, supporters of The Rotary Foundation and the general public who wish to attend the event may also purchase tickets online.
Foundation Chair and Past District Governor (PDG), Janet McPeek, reports that we’ve already identified $650,00 in bequest intentions and we’re excited about meeting our goal.
All Rotarians are invited to attend!

*Live music by the amazing Brad McNett
Vocalist/composer, Brad McNett, is quickly becoming one of the most popular interpreters of the Great American Songbook. McNett’s large repertoire and his ability to interpret a lyric or turn a phrase with, the skill and poise of someone twice his age, makes him an instant smash with any audience. “There’s a late-’50s sensibility in his voice—touches of Mel Torme and Frank D’Rone,” according to Marc Myers ofJazzWax.com.
Chelsie Armstrong, from Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan talked about Girl Scouts at our weekly luncheon last Thursday.
Chelsie said the "Girl Scouts gives every girl access to life-changing experiences that inspire her to do something great. While she's learning to build a fire, she's also building character. She discovers she can help build a house, sail a boat, or excel at math. She makes friends, finds mentors and joins with others to improve her neighborhood or her school."
She talked about some of the programs that the Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan participates in such as
Camps
Archery
Selling Cookies
She showed us a map of the new building that the Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan is using located at444 James L Hart Parkway Ypsilant. She invited us to take a tour of the new location and learn more about Girl Scouts.
