Today we meet at the West Street Park to honor past Rotarians Henry Vandenberg, Don Monroe, Dolph Phoehn, and Eppie Garland.Â
The picnic will be catered and Charlie Arnett will have his guitar to lead us in summertime songs.
Directions: driving west on Grand River, go past the Howell Library to the gas station, turn right onto West Street, and follow for a mile or so. Driving on M-59, take Bower Street which is across from Kroger Mall and near the Golden Triangle Condos. Take Bower south until you run into West Street. Follow that to park.
