Member Engagement 
by Rose Angela Gronda
 

We have 37 people signed up to attend the Taste of Downriver on Tuesday, August 12th!  The event starts at 6pm and takes place downtown Trenton.  I’m planning to pick up wristbands ahead of time and distribute them at Rotary the next two Mondays, so you can avoid waiting in line at the event to pick them up.  If you would like to be part of our group picture, please meet near the front doors at city hall at 6pm.  It should be a fun night!

President's Corner
 
Greetings, Rotarians!
 
What a busy week!!
 
Last week, we had the pleasure of hearing Pennie Joy share her powerful experience with Days for Girls and the recent trip to Ghana.
 
 
 
If you were inspired by her story, you won’t want to miss an upcoming special presentation:

🗓 August 20

📍 Trenton Theater

🎤 Hosted by Noel, featuring Father Stephen, Anna Howey, and Kara Rickman

 

They’ll take us through the Ghana journey from their unique perspectives—it promises to be moving and memorable.

A huge thank you to Chris Ramirez for bringing in a great lunch donated by Mamacita's.  Thank you also to Evah from Koi Suishi for bringing us in some delicious fried rice.  The lunch was amazing!

We also presented Evah with a check for $2,500 as part of the Launch Trenton.  Evah was one of 5 that was awarded this funding.

On Tuesday, we also kicked off planning for our next big fundraiser:

🎉 Spring Break – Sunshine & Shenanigans

🗓 March 21, 2026

📍 The Grecian Center

🎟 Tickets: $75 each or $600 for a table of 10

 

Our first committee meeting was held on Tuesday, and the room was buzzing with energy and creativity! Huge thanks to everyone who joined us:

Gloria Jabro, Kathy Kane, Rose Angelo Gronda, Noel Jackson, Molly Tamsen, Vicky Brown, Bill Jasman, and Jackie Hatty.

(And to those on the committee who couldn’t make it—we missed you!)

We need everyone’s support to make this event a success! Here’s how you can help:

  • Donate raffle prizes
  • Provide tickets to sporting or other events
  • Contribute gift cards, themed gift baskets, or bottles of wine/spirits

If you had fun at last year’s Shamrock event, just wait until you see what Jackie has planned for spring break!

✨ Save the date and stay tuned—more exciting details to come!

Next meeting - Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at Mom's restaurant at 6:30pm

Join us on Monday when Wes Mator will hold a discussion on membership!

See everyone then!

YIR,

Ronnie
