Polio Eradication Fundaiser

A huge thank you to Kathy Kane for chairing our Polio Fundraiser.  She is selling football squares for the Detroit Lions vs Kansas City Chiefs.  Squares are $20.  Prizes are $200 a quarter.  The net will be $1,200 for the polio eradication campaign.  Please consider purchasing a square and helping our cause.  Kathy will be selling them at our Monday meeting.  Only 41 squares left.  We got this!

 

 

We're so close!

Welcome Rotarians!

Another Great Week in Rotary!

We started the week with a Spring Break Committee meeting, filled with energy and fresh ideas. Thank you to Vicky Brown, Ed Nykiel, Ed & Dawn Neubecker, Rose Angela Gronda, Kathy Kane, and Jean Wloszek for your input and enthusiasm. This event is shaping up to be something special! A quick reminder—we’re still in need of raffle prizes, so any contributions are greatly appreciated.

On Friday, several of our members enjoyed the Lobsterpalooza party in Trenton. What a fun night!  A special thank-you to Kathy Kane for organizing and ensuring our club was represented at this lively community event.

Saturday brought us to the Walmart distribution for local charities. I was fortunate to attend and was inspired by the teamwork and commitment on display. These moments truly highlight the heart of Rotary—service above self.

Marvelous Monday

Last week’s well deserving recipient was Kathy Kane. Kathy is an instrumental part of our Rotary Club. She not only manages our marketing and social media but also designs flyers and other materials whenever needed. When it came time to raise funds for polio, Kathy jumped in and made it happen—creating a fun and simple football squares fundraiser that made supporting the cause easy for everyone. Thank you, Kathy, for your creativity, dedication, and the many ways you strengthen our Rotary family.

Tomorrow, we look forward to our tour of Trenton High School—see you all there!

Yours in Rotary,

Ronnie
