"The Ramblings of the Mad Hatter"

 

 
 
Greetings Trenton Rotarians,

It was another beautiful week in paradise! Although the restrictions placed by Governor Whitmer are slowly being lifted, I am noticing a big increase in the number of people I see out and about. I attribute a lot of this to the gorgeous weather we have been having - that and the general feeling of restlessness people have from being cooped up for three months. Let's just hope that people are smart about their interactions with others so that we don't see a huge increase in the number of COVID-19 cases reported.

The week started with a presentation by Kady Cox from Raising Awareness with Students Michigan (RAWS). This group, a 501(c)3 organization, was started by Kady during her undergraduate years at Michigan State University. It seeks to end the plague of minority health disparities deeply rooted in the urban community. Its main focus is disease prevention and programming. As Kady explained, the easiest sources of food for some of the urban areas are the many fast food establishments. The consumption of too much of this food is the cause of higher occurrences of physical ailments, most notably diabetes. By going into the schools and explaining this to the students, RAWS hopes to educate the students on proper nutrition and how good nutrition helps a person maintain their health. The group hopes that this knowledge will help limit the types and amounts of food consumed at fast food restaurants and make young people aware of the affects of this food on their bodies. Please visit rawsmichigan.org to learn more about this group.

On Wednesday of this past week, Bill Jasman, Kathy Kane and I visited Ann Rudisill of Downriver for Veterans, Barb Malzahn of the St. Philip Food Pantry and Linda Dickman of Christnet to present each of them with a check for $333.00. These donations were the result of a $1,000.00 grant that Rotary District 6400 gave to each club to help local community groups in their efforts to help those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. All three groups were extremely appreciative of the gift as people's needs have increased during these trying times.

This coming Thursday and Friday, Rotary District 6400 will be holding its annual District Conference virtually via the Zoom platform. The conference will be held from 7:00 pm until 8:30 pm each evening. You should have received meeting information from Bill Jasman via email. If you haven't received it, or cannot find it, please contact me so I can forward the information to you. This is a good opportunity for those of you who haven't attended a District Conference to see what it is all about. Please join in celebrating this past Rotary year. Let's also usher in Kathy Kane's year as President and Noel Jackson's year as District Governor with a flourish!

The Rotary International Convention is being held June 20 - 26. The conferences will be held virtually, with various sessions held throughout the six days. You should have received an email from Rotary International with a link to session registrations. Take this opportunity to "go to Hawaii" and "mingle" with Rotarians from around the world.

Plans for the installation banquet are proceeding nicely. The banquet will be held virtually on the evening of June 24. There are a few surprises in store, so look for information in the coming week.

We will be holding our monthly 5:01 meeting on Monday (at 5:01 pm). And the 6:01 Group of the Trenton Rotary Club will be holding their monthly meeting Monday evening at 6:00 pm. I hope to see you there as well.

Have a wonderful week. Please remember those that are struggling during this pandemic. By doing the right thing, you WILL connect the world. Live according to the Rotary motto "Service Above Self!"

Yours In Rotary,

Matt Hatty
President, The Rotary Club of Trenton, Michigan

Then we ask for you to dress up and to join us with your home guests on a special Zoom-Virtual Installation Banquet starting at 5:30pm until approx. 7:30pm. We have the technology to have a "social hour" from 5:30-5:45pm we will video members enjoying their dinner. At 5:45- 6:15 we will have each person in a break out rooms of 5-6 people to chat as you would at a dinner party and we will switch it up every few minutes, so you can enjoy dinner or drinks with everyone and some special surprises are planned. 
 
The program starting at 6:15 will consist of Introduction of new members, Paul Harris, Perfect Attendance, Awards, Installation of Officers (via in person and zoom) and remarks from the out and in coming club presidents.

Secretary's Corner
by Bill Jasman
 
Hello Rotarians,
      Thank you to the 1/4 of the club that answered our ask for information.  If you have not responded yet, please send your answers to Bill.  Also, We will experiment with our 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM 2nd Monday Meetings.  This is supported by the response in our survey.  A zoom option will be made available for both meetings if you feel uncomfortable.  It was my pleasure to join President Matt and President Elect Kathy in delivering the support checks.  As always, you can support Salvation Army and Christnet by dropping off food donations and checks to Larry Kearney at Riverside Financial on Riverside Drive between Elm and St. Joseph.
 
We also have filed our grant with the district for a new project to donate $3000 in toys to the Trenton Goodfellows and the Salvation Army.  These toys will be purchased and presented in Early December.   We will also have a reading project once schools return in the fall.
 
See you at the meeting at noon, 5:00 or 6:00 PM on Monday.
