Community Service Update
 

Salvation Army Coat Drive. 

As you are cleaning out closets this fall, please set aside any gently used coats you may be getting rid of for the Salvation Army Coat Drive.  They will be looking for gently used and new coats.  When we get a date from them, we will let you know when to bring your coats to our Rotary meetings. Please hold on to any you may have right now.

Paracord Bracelet Making for deployed Military

Wednesday, October 16, 6:00 pm at the Westfield Center

Please join us in making paracord bracelets for our deployed military. Paracord bracelets are made of parachute cording that make them incredibly strong. They are used to do everything from tourniquets for someone bleeding, to lifting equipment and bodies and repairing materials The bracelets and clips we will be making can lift 1,000 pounds.

We will make these and send to active duty deployed military around the world with Christmas packages letting them know we appreciate them. A bracelet can make a difference in the life of the person using them. Our host will be Kathryn Jacek, Blue Star Mothers of America.

Please sign up if you would like to join us:

Trenton High School Interact Club will be joining us to assist in making the bracelets!

President's Corner
 
Last Saturday  Rotarians gathered to plant 20 trees. Breaking up into two groups, we methodically worked together and over a three hour time period, created lasting change for out community and the environment (thanks to Paul Frost.)
 
Coming up this week, the 6:01 group will meet and we have a chance to support two of our charities.  Thursday is the IWRA dinner and Friday is the Penrickton Center Dinner.  Showing support is very important to both of these organizations.  Please sign up to attend and support them!
 
Wednesday we will all be meeting to make parachord bracelets, which our dear Paulette originally set up.  Please join this activity!

Ryan Hoshaw Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 11, 2024.
 
Ryan Patrick Hoshaw, 29, died peacefully at his home in Trenton, Mich., on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024.

Ryan, who endured cancer for several years while simultaneously doing everything he possibly could to live his life to the fullest, was surrounded by his wife, Carly, his parents, Mary and Joe; and his brother, Eric, at the time of his passing.

Born Nov. 2, 1994, in Wyandotte, Mich., Ryan graduated from Trenton High School in 2012. He continued his education at Central Michigan University, where he received his bachelor's degree in 2016 with a major in integrative public relations and a minor in psychology.

He was employed in the marketing division of Plante Moran in Southfield when his life plan was altered by cancer.

Along with his immediate family members mentioned previously, Ryan is also survived by his brother-in-law Scot Brand; his in-laws Dave and Mary Laginess; his grandfather Joseph Hoshaw Sr., and numerous aunts and uncles and cousins.

In accordance with Ryan's wishes, the family is forgoing a funeral in favor of a private celebration of life for close family and friends to be held later this fall.

In lieu of flowers or other gifts, the family is requesting donations to a GoFundMe page set up to help Carly deal with the financial impact of Ryan's illness. Anyone who is able to help out can visit https://gofund.me/9c91c50a to donate, as well as share Ryan's story with others.
