I hope everyone ordered their Roundhouse BBQ today for lunch or dinner to support our local restaurants!
They have an awesome website where you can order anytime for pick up at a time that is good for you! You don't even have to attend our Zoom meeting, this counts for attendance too, just let me know you did it! http://www.roundhousebbq.com/or call 734 - 671 - 6100. They normally open at 11:30 but they will come in early so anyone who wants to pick up at 11:30 before the meeting can do so.
If this goes well, I will choose a date in January to support Sibley's & Truago too. Thanks for all you do to help support our community!
We have next week off to enjoy the holidays with family, a Very Merry Christmas and Cheers to a Bright, Healthy New Year! See you Jan. 4! Next quarter bill will go out in January, FYI.

Some little known facts about myself is that I attended my first Rotary meeting when I was a High School senior in Rock Island, Illinois in 1960. I was a Junior Rotarian and attended the Rotary meeting as a guest of our High School Principal. While in High School I played varsity football and was the starting defensive halfback on our 1960 undefeated team. We ended the season ranked number 1 in the State of Illinois. Also while in High School I was the Quad City hand ball champion.
After graduating from High School I attended the University of Illinois and received a Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering. After graduation, Linda and I were married in 1965 and moved to Detroit. I started working for Chrysler in a management training program and Linda taught first grade in the Warren Consolidated School System. I then attended Wayne State University where I received my Masters Degree in Business Administration. I completed my training program in 1967 and My first permanent job was at the Chrysler Trenton Engine Plant.
Two years later we bought our first house in Trenton and have lived in Trenton ever since.
We have four adult children (Suzanne, Julie, Brent & Todd). They are all married and have a total of nine children (Grant, Ian, Luke, Emmie, Alec, Sophie, Ainsley, Michael, and Dylan). I have spent a lot of happy dollars on the grandchildren and sent Ronnie many pictures.
Shortly after moving to Trenton, I joined the Trenton Jaycees. I was a member of the Jaycees for approximately 10 years and served as President in 1976. In 1977, I was elected to the Trenton School Board and served for sixteen years. During that time I was President three times. In 2008 I became a charter member of the Trenton Educational Foundation. I am still currently on the TEF Board and I am currently the Chairperson.
I worked for Chrysler for 33 years and retired as the Divisional Manager Of Stamping Material Control at the end of 1998. This gave me some free time, so I joined the Trenton Rotary. I have been a member for twenty two years and served on the Board for eight years. I was President for the 2011-2012 year.
Salvation Army Christmas Project
Our work on the Salvation Army Christmas project is done. We started in September/October with buying and dropping off STEM toys for the Angel Tree Gift Shop.
Rotarians donated 43 gift cards totaling $865 for teens to receive in the Gift Shop.
Jean, Mike Concessi, Kathy, Ray and Sue, Dennis and Renee, Kim Mott And Matt all volunteered in registering, packing and distributing for the gift shop which is for the benefit of people needing assistance for Christmas. Rotary heroes are Jean who stayed 5 hours on her second day working, Mike Concessi staying 4 hours (and they wanted him back!), and Dennis and Renee. While working their shift the toys ran out so Dennis and Renee went to the store and bought more!!
Trenton Rotarians have reason to be proud of all the assistance we gave the Salvation Army in this year where more people needed help and fewer volunteers were available.
Merry Christmas,
Paulette
