Howell Rotary News - 3-4-11

 

At Monday's meeting, we'll be traveling the world through the adventures of Steve Manor.  Steve and his wife Pat have traveled to numerous countries and have some great experiences to share.  Maybe we'll all find a place to put on our own 'bucket lists'!

 

At last week's meeting, Rick Scofield shared the challenges, pitfalls and humor of working globally.  Rick has had business connections in England, Mexico, China, and beyond. He spoke about his Mexican and England businesses and connections; we would like to have him come back again to speak specifically about business interactions with China.

 

The next Tour de Livingston committee meeting is scheduled for March 18th, from 8-9 a.m. at the Howell Chamber building.  We'd love to have more people join us on the planning committee for this year's TdL!  Lots to do and lots of people needed to pull it all together.

 

Bowl Meister Dan Murdock is on a mission to fill slots for the March 19th "Bowl for Kids" from 10 a.m.-noon.  If you haven't signed up, let Dan know as soon as possible that you're interested.  Let your friends and relatives know you're bowling to help local at-risk kids who need someone special in their lives.

 

Are you a Winer?   If so, bring your friends, significants, and anyone else you can think of, to the Howell Rotary's Wine Tasting on Wednesday March 30th from 4:30-7 p.m. at the Howell Main Street Winery.  The cost is $15 per person with all proceeds designated to support youth literacy through the Howell Carnegie District Library and scholarships for youth through the Howell Parks and Recreation.  Join us!

 

The Howell Rotary Club was recently represented by Patti Griffith, Sandie Cortez, Steve Manor and Jeanne Clum at our Rotary-sponsored Cub Scout Pack #362's Blue and Gold Ceremony.  It was an honor to be invited and the youth and parents shared how much they appreciate our partnership and support.
