Monday's program will feature Carol Griffith presenting her annual 'Pulse of Livingston   County's Real Estate Market'.a must attend!  As we all know, Carol has a tremendous sense of humor and brings levity to a topic that can be quite challenging nowadays.  

"12 Days of Gleaners" with WHMI / Howell Soft Cloth.  Thanks to Sandie Cortez for coordinating volunteers this past Saturday, November 13th.  A HUGE thank you to Sandie, Steve Manor, Heidi Wenner, Patti Griffith, Jeanne Clum and the Howell Interact Club for representing the Howell Rotary Club so well.  

 

Ringing the Bell for The Salvation Army - We're scheduled for Wednesday, December 1st to be ringing the bells at both doors of the Howell Wal-Mart store, starting at 10 a.m.  Steve Manor is leading the charge; please say yes and sign up for a 2-hour shift.

 

Helping Others.  

·        Peter Bowen shared that the Great Lakes National Cemetery is looking for support to purchase holiday wreaths for gravesites at the Holly, MI memorial.

·        We're remembering the family of Bill Klein by bringing personal care items, gift cards for area stores, or cash donations for the family to Monday's meeting.  (Howell Interact has expressed interest in working together to assist the Klein family.more to be presented at the Nov. 22nd meeting.)

·        Mike Yost is collecting donations for the Hidden Springs Thanksgiving Dinner program.  Food boxes are $30.

 

Festival of Trees.  We had several Rotarians step up to decorate a tree for the Howell Rotary for the Festivals of Trees at the City Park.  Thanks to this team we'll have great visibility to the hundreds of people driving through the park - thank you!

 

Don't Forget our Membership Drive!  Our membership campaign has been extended through November.  Every time you bring a guest between now and then, you'll be entered into a drawing for a $150 VISA gift card.  If your guest joins, then you'll be in a drawing for another $50 VISA gift card.  Could be some serious holiday cash!  See Pat Convery for more information and for membership applications.

 

Looking Ahead at Upcoming Programs :  Mark your calendars for December 20th for our annual Christmas program featuring the Howell High School Chorale. We'll meet at the Opera House for this special program.  Guests are invited, however, we'll need a head count a little closer to the date.
