Jeff Crause Talks About Finance At The November 15th, RCAAN Luncheon.
At Thursday's November 15, 2018, Rotary Club of Ann Arbor Luncheon Rotarian Jeff Crause, Finance Adviser from Edward Jones talked about Finance and the Stock Market.
 
Jeff's, biggest point in his talk was that the stock market is cyclical. Cyclical means a business or stock income, value, or earnings fluctuate widely in the economy or a cycle of the seasons. This means in the stock market your investments will always have highs and lows. 
 
Jeff showed the club some charts and graphs that showed how the market is cyclical. So do not always just sell off a stock because a down turn.

Great Fundraiser For Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Foundation.
On Saturday, November 3, 2018 Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North had a fun and entertaining fundraiser called the Mad Hatter Masquerade Dinner Party.
 
We had terrific and funny performances by Tea and Whimsy from Metro Detroit improv, a local improvisers who participate in the community improv meetup group on a weekly basis.
 
Mad Hatter Mad Men performed dinner music. They are part of the Cabaret Cast of 25 which will be appearing at the Village Theater in Canton on February 6th 2018, proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.
 
We selected the raffle winners and the best costume of the night. The performers of Tea and Whimsy judged the best costume contest, which the lady in the Cleopatra costume won.
 
Lastly, the band called Jeff and The Deck Chairs, performed so the audience could dance.
 
Thank you, to all that performed and attended the Mad Hatter Masquerade Dinner Party. Stay tuned for next years RCAAN Dinner Party. It will be just as great!

John Kinzinger Talks About Warriors and Care Givers United On Nov. 8th.
At Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North's Luncheon, on November 8, 2018, Bill Vollano introduced the speaker, John Kinzinger.  John talking about Warriors And Caregiver United, where he is President.
 
Warriors And Caregivers United  (wacu) is a 501c3 non-profit organization that helps Warriors and Caregivers in a non-judgmental, safe, and unassuming environment. They focus not just on helping the Veteran; equally important are the Caregivers, families and friends. They invite Caregivers and loved ones to attend the functions and events with or without their Veteran. Warriors And Caregivers United, know that families need a safe place to turn just as much as the Veteran. They offer that to them.
 
John said, "My desire, is to do something to address suicide among local Warriors." That is the reason he created Warriors and Caregivers United. "Among our experienced cadre of Vietnam Veteran mentors, we have a goal; if we can save one, it is worth everything we put into WACU. Our vision is to develop an organization that focuses on helping PTS Warriors and their Caregivers move forward toward lives of normalcy."
 
Before John's talk, Assistant District Governor Collyer Smith, presented Past President Peg and President Joyce, the End Polio Now Certificate for RCAAN's part in ending polio in 2017-2018.
