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!

Last week, the Trenton Rotary was well represented at The Information Center’s 50th Anniversary Gala! It was wonderful seeing so many Rotarians in attendance. A special shoutout to Noel Jackson, who did an outstanding job serving as emcee for the evening.

Busy Week Ahead

We’ve got a full and exciting week coming up!

Tuesday, October 8:

We’re invited to the dedication of the donated rowing shells at the Wyandotte Boat Club. The presentation and tour will take about 30 minutes, and it would be great to have strong Rotary representation there.

Afterwards, join us at LeLieu for a fun night of Euchre starting at 6:30 PM.

  • Entry fee: $5
  • Euchres: 50¢ each
  • Pizza and water will be provided

Marvelous Monday Recognition

This week’s Marvelous Monday recognition goes to Doug Mentzer!

Doug graciously hosted our recent tour of Trenton High School — and he went above and beyond. Not only did he provide snacks (as promised), but also a full meal and THS t-shirts! The school was impressive, modern, and truly state-of-the-art. Doug, thank you for showcasing the incredible work happening at THS. We appreciate your time and hospitality!

Reminders

  • Football Squares: Monday is the last day to purchase your squares in support of Polio Eradication. Don’t miss your chance to contribute to this important cause.
  • Foster Care Collection: We’re still collecting candy and small treats for the Treatment Foster Care Oregon program. Please bring donations to Monday’s meeting.
