Fr Dale Jamison, from St Mary Navajo Mission Talked at the RCAAN Luncheon Today.
Posted by Eric Tindall on May 08, 2025
Fr. Dale Jamison
 
Fr Dale Jamison, from St Mary Navajo Mission was our speaker at the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Luncheon on May 8th. Fr. Dale Jamison, OFM, is the Pastor of St. Mary Navajo Mission, Tohatchi, NM.
 
Fr. Dale started his talk with, imagine life without running water, gas and electricity. Outhouses for toilets. Woodburning stoves are the only source of heat. walks to the mountains for wood, and to natural springs to fill containers with water for drinking, cooking and bathing. On top of these hardships, there’s food insecurity and barely enough money for clothes and other necessities. This is reality for families living in run-down trailer homes and hogans (octagonal-shaped, single-room dwellings) around Tohatchi on the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico.
 
In the more “urban” part of town, population 1,100, it’s common for families to welcome unhoused relatives into the small cinder block homes they lease from the federal government. Most of the housing is old and in need of repair and the occupants, usually upwards of a dozen, often share one vehicle. Although the homes have plumbing and utilities, it’s a struggle to put food on the table.
 
FR. Dale say's Rotary can help by giving money to repair the many homes and buildings that are in disrepair at the mission.

Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation Talks at the RCAAN Luncheon.
Posted by Eric Tindall
Adopt-A-Park/Group 360 Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation
 
 
At April 24th, Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Luncheon, the Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation talked about updates at the parks. Dana, Amelia and Sarah work at the Parks and Recreation Department and all help at the Gallup Park Hummingbird and Butterfly Garden.
 
Dana Novak talked about Ann Arbor Parks talking about their mission and core values,
 
Mission:
 
Together, we enrich life by cultivating exceptional experiences.
 
Core Values:
  • Stewardship: We responsibly manage and care for our natural, cultural and physical resources for current and future generations.
  • Exceptional Customer Service: We interact with all people in a professional, friendly and respectful manner, while striving to exceed expectations.
  • Innovative Improvements: We foster an environment that supports and encourages innovation and dynamic creative solutions.
  • Integrity: We build trust and maintain accountability by doing the right thing.
  • Community: We work collaboratively to include and engage the full diversity of our community.
  • Excellent Parks and Spaces:  We provide safe environments, beautiful spaces and a welcoming atmosphere.
  • Fun: Have fun!​
Then Dana discussed what park volunteers do. Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation has year round volunteer opportunities for almost every interest, schedule and ability. Your level of commitment is up to you!
  • GIVE 365 is a volunteer and outreach program within Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation. We work with volunteers to maintain and beautify our parks and to make improvements and enhancements to the Ann Arbor park system. There are 162 park properties that the city maintains and cares for here in Ann Arbor! Staff and volunteers work together to steward our public parkland. 
  • The Adopt-a-Park volunteer program promotes long-term partnerships between residents and city government to maintain and beautify our parks. Park adopters can be individuals, neighborhood associations, community groups, school clubs and local businesses. Park adopters work with the Adopt-a-Park Coordinator to develop expectations, create a work plan and schedule workdays. 
  • Natural Area Preservation (NAP) works to protect and restore Ann Arbor’s natural areas and to foster an environmental ethic within the community. This involves conducting plant and animal inventories, ecological monitoring, and stewardship projects in Ann Arbor parks. These tasks are performed by both staff and volunteers.
Before Dana's talk we presented Amelia and Sarah a Paul Harris Fellowship (Click here for more pictures of P.H. presentation) for all their dedicated work on the Hummingbird and Butterfly Garden. Thank you Sarah and Amelia.
