On October 27th, Jessie Hitt Talked About HSHV.
Posted on Oct 27, 2022
At The Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Lunch Meeting on October 27, 2022, Jessie Hitt from The Humane Society of Huron Valley was our speaker.
 
Jessie said, "For more than 125 years, the Humane Society of Huron Valley has been serving the community, saving animals and helping people." HSHV is the only animal shelter in Washtenaw County, taking in all types of unwanted, injured, lost, stray, abandoned, and abused animals. Today, they help over 24,000 animals and their people through our array of services every year. 
 
While HSHV is known for cats and dogs, the HSHV started out 125 years ago with Horses. And children! With the mission of “prevention, by all proper means, of cruelty to animals and children and the prevention of all cruelty by humane education”.
 
HSHV has the highest “save rate” among all similar animal shelters in Michigan. And that we’re classified as a “no-kill” shelter, as defined by Maddie’s Fund, a leader in the no-kill movement. Michigan Pet Fund Alliance consistently recognizes HSHV for our save rate.
 
Huron Society of Huron Valley gets dog's, cat's, and even rabbits you are able to adopt. 
 
How does the animals get to HSHV:
  • Stray: If an animal is presumed to truly not have an owner or family, then “stray” helps to clarify that they need help finding a safe place to go.
  • Surrendered: Animal owner relinquishes all rights of the pet to the Humane Society of Huron Valley. This means that HSHV then assumes the new role as the owner of that animal.
  • Seized:  a dog is running loose in violation of local leash laws. officers suspect a dog is being abused or neglected. a dog has bitten or injured someone, or. the owner has violated the conditions for keeping a dangerous dog.
  • Transfer: To move animals to one place to HSHV.
 
HSHV’s Veterinary Clinic can provide high quality, affordable services for just about everything you need to keep your animals healthy and happy. And the money you spend on treatment goes right back into helping animals in the shelter!
 
HSHV also gives behavioral help to your pet if needed.
 
Jessie told the club that they participate in "Love Trail". HSHV transport animals — often puppies! — from struggling rescues and shelters with high euthanasia rates to HSHV. Every other Wednesday the Van comes to their Washtenaw County location with the animals and they have mostly been adopted by the end of the weekend.
 
Humane Society of Huron Valley is located just down the street from our meeting location at 3100 Cherry Hill Road Ann Arbor, Michigan.
 
 
 
Bala Murthy Talks About Where The District Is On Oct. 13th.
Posted on Oct 13, 2022
At the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Lunch Meeting on Oct 13th, at our new meeting location Dixboro United Church, District Governor Bala Murthy was our speaker. 
 
Bala talked to the club with an inspirational talk about service. He told the club a quote by Mahatna Gandhi, "the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
 
Bala mentioned the Operation Pollination event that happens in September, the Youth Exchange which Bryan Schindel's Daughter is in Germany this year, and many other things that are going on in the District.
 
Bala continued with some District 6380 events that you can participate in to lose yourself in service
  • Rotary at Detroit Free Press Marathon: Have fun by being part of this most unique International Marathon. Volunteers will be assigned various tasks by the event Rotary coordinator. 
  • "Send Hunger Packing" with the Clubs of Ann Arbor: This service project is being hosted by the three Rotary Clubs in town; Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor West and Ann Arbor North. It will be an area-wide event that will use an assembly-line process to produce packets of ingredients for “one-pot” meals that will be distributed both locally and internationally with some stored for emergencies. The event will be held in the cafeteria at Ann Arbor Pioneer High on the morning of Saturday, November 5. Click here to register and more information
  • Foundation Gala: A Rotary Foundation event that will be held at the Suburban Collection in Novi. There will be a strolling Dinner, Entertainment, a Silent Auction and Cash bar.
DG Bala Murthy stuck around a little after the meeting to hear about the club's new Strategic Plan. 
 
 
Send Hunger Packing.
Posted on Sep 20, 2022
Mark your calendars for November 5th and sign up to work against hunger! 
 
As many of you know, RCCAAN is one of the AA clubs sponsoring a local food packing event.  We are partnering with Kids Coalition Against Hunger.  I am representing RCAAN on the planning committee.
 
The hope is to raise the $10,500 needed to pack 30,000 meals.  This amounts to .35 per meal.  We also need 150 volunteers to work for 2-3 hours to pack these meals.  Meals will be donated both locally and internationally.
 
How you can help:
  • Sign up to work on the day of the event
  • Donate directly to the event
  • Assist the committee (me) identifying people (organizations, friends, colleagues, and family members – children can work if accompanied by an adult) who may be able to support this effort
Event details: Saturday, November 5, 2022
                      9:00-11:00 am
                      Pioneer High School Cafeteria
                      601 W. Stadium Blvd.

I sincerely hope that we have a few club members who can support this fundraiser by helping on the day of the event or by donating towards the cost of the meals.
 
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Four representatives of the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North, plus District Governor Bala Murthy of Rotary District 6380, PDG Jane McManus, Mike McManus of Brighton and the DGs of Rotary District 6400, and Rotary District 6360 working together on this important cause to protect the Monarch.
 
Another Happy Dollar was given by Manish on an approved Grant  for the club, which is connected to solar energy.
 
An announcement was given by Pres Bob about the Tote Bag Membership Project. Bob and other club members are going to the following Farmers Markets to promote Rotary:
  • Sept 24th: Dexter Farmers Market
