At Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North's Luncheon, on November 8, 2018, Bill Vollano introduced the speaker, John Kinzinger. John talking aboutWarriors 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.
At November 1, 2018 Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Luncheon, Rotarian Gail Scott told us the history of the Girl Scouts. In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded Girl Scouts of the USA.
Born Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon on October 31, 1860, in Savannah, Georgia, “Daisy,” as she was known, descended from a long line of strong and independent women.
A meeting in 1912 with Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts, inspired Juliette to establish Girl Scouts that same year. Telephoning a cousin from her home, she announced, "I've got something for the girls of Savannah, and all of America, and all the world, and we're going to start it tonight!"
Using her innate talent for fundraising and public relations, combined with her vast network of friends and supporters, she led Girl Scouts with passion and determination—ensuring it was, and always would be, an experience that was “girl led.”
Gail, showed the club an old Girl Scout Manual and Uniform, given to her when she was Girl Scout CEO of The Huron Valley Council .
At Monday's (Nov. 5th) "Stories of Service: An Evening At Hill Auditorium", in an impromptu “ceremony”, DG Jane presented a check to Rotarian Scott Nelson for $750 as the District’s match for a Simplified Grant awarded to Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North for collaboration withAgrarian Adventures (a non-profit that teaches gardening and sustainability concepts to middle school students).
The funds will be matched with Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North's $1500 contribution for installation of new indoor gardening and hoop structures to train students at Ann Arbor Tappan Middle School.
Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North, has received great news about our District 6380 Grant Funding for the Agrarian Adventure Hoop House revitalization project. Take a look at the letter below from Joe Bauman.
I am pleased to inform you Ann Arbor North Rotary’s district grant request to support the Hoop House project was approved in the amount of $750.
The grant checks will be distributed at the District 6380 Foundation Gala on Nov. 3 in Ypsilanti. We hope the Ann Arbor North club will be in attendance at the gala to receive the check.
Best, Joe
