At Conference 2018 we’ll do more than listen—we will demonstrate how people of action can explore an issue and work to develop actions plans for real change. We will focus our attention on key issues, hearing from experts and expand the topics with content panelists. Then we will discuss the issues at our table to develop plans of action. You will leave the conference inspired and equipped with information you can use to develop projects that can generate meaningful change in our local communities and communities across the globe.

Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North donated 50 trees for our 50 year anniversary.
Date: Sunday, May 6
Time: 11:00 AM-1:00 PM
We will get our location assignments on Sunday morning and then move to the parks.
The Rotary Club of Ypsilanti will be preparing our picnic lunch - hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, chips, soft drinks and beer will be available (Cost $10.00).
The locations are still being confirmed because of the rain over the past few weeks. Washtenaw County will be digging the holes and the trees will be delivered close to the site. Our jobs will be to move the trees to the pre-dug holes, fill in the dirt, add water, mulch, and if needed a gator bag.
Please bring shovels, rakes, and buckets. Wheelbarrows and garden wagons would also be helpful.
For now we know we will be planting trees in Rolling Hills Park and 3 areas in parks around the lake in Ypsilanti Township.
As the week moves forward - plans should be finalized. You will receive complete details and location information on Sunday morning. Plan to be in the ballroom of the Marriott at Eagle Crest, Ypsilanti no later than 10 am. We'll hear from a local tree expert and get our planting assignments.
