RI Director Marty Helman's Impact Tour starts in District 6380 early on Saturday, August 8 and continues into our Canadian Chatham -Kent Township on Sunday, August 9.

Sincerely, ClubRunner Team
We have identified one family interested in hosting an exchange student for our club for the 2026-2027 school year.
To make the commitment to the District, we need to identify at least one more, preferably two.
The host family does not need to be a Rotarian - please see the information below and share it with anyone you think might be interested. Patti is willing to meet and discuss further and answer any questions. Student matches are in the process of being made now - we need to identify a family soon for our club and community to be able to have this opportunity.
Host Families Needed for 2026-2027 Exchange Student
Howell Rotary is seeking host families for an exchange student attending Howell Public Schools from August 2026 through June 2027.
Rotary exchange students typically live with two to three different families for three to five months each to experience a variety of home environments. This opportunity is open to all—including individuals, retirees, and families with or without children.
Host Family Responsibilities:
Provide a bed, study space, and meals.
Integrate the student into daily family life, culture, and traditions.
Offer guidance on navigating the school and local community.
Maintain a safe, supportive, and welcoming home environment.
Hosting is about warmth and cultural exchange rather than luxury. By opening your home, you help build international bridges and support the future of Rotary youth programs.
Interested in learning more? Please contact Patti Griffith at pgriffith717@gmail.com or 517-282-0411.
