"What's Your Rotary Why" - Jennifer Jones Earlier in November, former Rotary International Director, Jennifer Jones, shared a heartfelt story about a heart surgery on a six month old baby that she had the honor of witnessing first hand. The surgery, performed by a fellow Rotarian who is a doctor, was gifted through an organ and tissue donation program called "Gift of Life." Watch Jennifer recount her very humbling experience to a roomful of metro area Rotarians that were hosted by Rotary Club of Troy, and also joined by current District Governor Jane McManus and two Southfield Area Rotarians. Like many Rotarians both new and seasoned, Jennifer's experience one of the many reasons she continues to be a such an active member. |

Game night with Boys & Girls Club Southfield It's no secret that SARC has a special place in its heart for kids. During October, SARC Rotarians were joined by some of our friends from Fox Sports Network Detroit for a night of food and fun with the Southfield Boys & Girls Club. Fun was had by all as the group played board games and ping pong to help the kids unwind after a full day of school (after their homework was completed of course)! Special thanks to FSN Detroit and Happy's Pizza for making sure our young buddies were playing on a full stomach. |

Saving lives in Ghana What is it like taking a large team to Africa? It has probably been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. In mid February, I began leading Rotary members from all over the East Coast of the United States through Ghana. I’ve tried to give the team a warm Ghanaian welcome like I’ve received on my earlier trips. A large trip is a real blessing because each person sees Ghana and our work in a different way.A highlight for the team was greeting the chief of Sagadugu. The team got excited about buying goats and food for children in the villages where I support eight churches. It was good to see the pastors of most of the eight churches, and I had to explain that we were just passing through on our way to Bolgatanga. |

Helping people with disabilities make their own music Music has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school. After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school. |
