Kim Mott, Bill Borrows and Bill Jasman enjoy dinner.

This is a DYPAC alumni, Yousef Fadel who is part of Scott Galeski (who spoke at Rotary about his Detroit Downriver Film Consortium for at risk youth and to which Trenton Rotary donated) at his award ceremony. So very uplifting!

Beautiful News

We have now tucked Summer away and a new season has begun. Fall has many opportunities that come with it. My hope is you find joy in the season as the leaves change, nights cool off even more and you get to snuggle up with your family & friends, enjoy activates and serve where needed.

This last week we had our Governors Golf Outing that took place at the Gross Ile Golf and Country Club We had one 4-person team from our club that played, and I was able to join them for dinner that night. It was great seeing Russ Jones and speak briefly with him.

We also had our board meeting on Wednesday at Mom’s kitchen. We had a great turn out for that and accomplished a few great things in a record amount of time.

Donated to our local Trenton Cub Scout pack #1730 for $250
Sponsored the Step up 10K Swim for $1000
Sponsored the Banner Project in Downtown Trenton for $400
Sponsored the Downriver Prayer Breakfast for $300 that will come with 4 tickets for that event.
We are still looking into the Zoom in the Box so we can run our online Monday meetings with just a push of a button. The cost is still a bit high, and it will be from the Club account, so we are trying to keep that cost down and looking at other options.
World Polio Day is coming in October. We are working on a project to bring more Polio awareness. I’ll keep you updated on that.
Devan Rucker from the 6:01 will be helping us with social media content. His hope is to do interviews with new and current members and post weekly J
Paulette Dillingham has volunteered, once again, to help us with reaching out to members and their families when they have had a life changing experience, sickness, injury, surgery, congratulation, or recognition with a card from our club. Thank you Paulette for all you do.

We will be having our regular meeting this Monday at the Westfield Center but the 6:01 will be cancelling the evening meeting.

Honk Your Horn Monday Moment is going to…. Bill Jasman for all his sacrifice of his time and space for our Walmart project. Thank you Bill for over a year’s worth of storage and an extreme amount of time and sacrifice. We couldn’t have made it this far with this project without it.

Serving beautifully beside you,
