Rita shared with the club that a time capsule was found when they were doing renovations on the Shrade Gymnasium. Inside they found a letter written by Bill Tiknis. :) Along with the letter was a silver dollar. The letter was very nice and after a brief discussion, the club decided to leave the letter and dollar as is and place it back in the time capsule. What a wonderful surprise from one of our founding club Rotarians.
Mike Falese will be heading up the Special Project Committee which will consist of the the following Rotarian's:

One of the companies that we have partnered with for several years in the Hancock Hustle is Auto Truck. Mike F has been talking with them over the last few months about another community outreach program. Initially it appeared we were going to be doing a “bike program”. That was cancelled. The new initiative is “A Day of Caring” and we will be building and distributing “Reading Chairs” for children. This concept is taking place across the country and emphasizes reading with children. It looks to support current initiatives in schools, libraries, and other locations with children reading. Some of the details……………..
- Build 15 chairs
- Possibly conduct a book drive to include some books with each chair
- September 21 is the building day for the chairs
- Identify location for the 15 chairs-Bartlett Library, Arts in Bartlett, Train Depot, Possibly the Townships?
- Possibly in a gentle manner put logos of Auto Truck, Fire District, and Rotary on the back of the chairs as the contributors
Please let Mike know if you have any suggestions on where to place the chairs or are interested in helping out with the project.
