Trenton Robotics program is hosting a bottle drive on Nov 2.   In effort to make it easy for Rotarians to help out, Ed Neubecker is willing to stop by your house this week (Oct 12-18) and grab your returnables to help this cause.  He will give the Rotary collection to the team on the 2nd in support of this effort. 
He would love to collect a few hundred dollars of returnable for them.  If you can (pun intended ) help out, please call or text Ed at 734-347-0202. Include your name and address and he will coordinate a time to pickup your can donation this week.

President's Corner
We're at Truago today!
 
 

Welcome Rotarians!

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting our official District Governor’s visit with Linda Morrow! Linda met with the Board at 11:00 a.m. for a lively and productive discussion about our club’s achievements and areas for continued growth. Everyone contributed thoughtful insights, making it a truly collaborative session.

At our regular meeting, Linda shared her vision for the year and spoke about the district theme — “Sharing Your Story.” Hearing her message and reflecting on all we’ve accomplished together reminded me just how special our club is. I’m so proud to be part of this incredible group of Rotarians who truly make a difference.

Marvelous Monday!

This week’s well-deserved recognition goes to Larry Kearney! Larry has faithfully led our Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive for many years. Coordinating volunteers and filling every time slot is no small feat, yet Larry manages it all with dedication and a smile. Larry, your leadership and commitment have a lasting impact on our community — thank you for everything you do!

Spring Break Committee Meeting

Mark your calendars! We’ll be meeting on Wednesday, October 29th at 6:00 p.m. at Mom’s Restaurant. Everyone is welcome — and that includes spouses! Come share your ideas and join in the planning.

Yours in Rotary Service,

Ronnie
