RCAAN Luncheon Cancelled For Feb. 23, 2023.

Posted on Feb 23, 2023

Due to Ice Storm in Ann Arbor the RCAAN Luncheon on February 23, 2023 was cancelled. The next Luncheon will be on March 6th at 12:00 pm.

At RCAAN Luncheon Rachal Carson Talked About The Boy Scouts.

Posted on Feb 09, 2023

At the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Luncheon on February 9, 2023, Rachal Carson talked about The Boy Scouts of America.

Rachal explained, The Boy Scouts America was created by W.D. Boyce. W.D. was an American Businessman and was traveling London. He was aided by an unknown Scout guiding him to his destination and refused a tip as he was merely doing his "Good turn Daily" W.D. meet with General Robert Baden Powell, head of The Boy Scout Association of England. On February 8, 1910, W.D. applied for the Congressional Charter and the Boy Scouts of America was created.

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

The Scout Law is that A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

The Scout Oath is On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

The Scout Vision is The Boy Scouts of America will prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

Washtenaw Counties Boy Scouts are part of the Huron Trails District:

Their Youth Membership is 1090 Members
43 Scout Units
- 10 Packs
- 23 Toups
- 2 Crews
33 Scouts earn the rank of Eagle.
They have 1690+ service hours.

Huron Trails district hosted a successful Hooked on Scouting joining event at Gallup Park in Ann Arbor on a beautiful October day. Prospective Scouts from the Ann Arbor Area were invited to spend a few hours with Current Scouts fishing and learning about local parks.

Rachal talked about how Rotary has been connected to The Boy Scouts of America:

In 1918 Rotary was the first Service Club to adopt Scouting.
Paul Harris and James E West (First Chief Scout Executive) traveled the country together to set up local Boy Scout Councils.
One of the first interactions between the two was to help provide camps. There is Camp Rotary in Clair, Michigan.
The values of the Rotary motto and the Four Way Test parallel those expressed in the Scouts Oath, Law, Motto and Slogan.
Rotary Clubs in the US charter over 1,400 Units. This provides service to over 45,000 youth.
The Cliff Dochterman Award is bestowed on a Rotarian who has displayed distinguished service and outstanding dedication to the programs of Scouting.

Rachal told us, "Thank You for the clubs support to the Boy Scouts."

At RCAAN Luncheon On Jan. 26th The Club Talked About Toastmasters.

Posted on Jan 26, 2023

At the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Luncheon on January 26, 2023, the club talked about Toastmasters International in place of the absent speaker.

Before talking about Toastmasters, Scott Nelson talked about the District 6380 Work Day on Earth Day in April. Scott is going to be on a call with DG Bala today to plan the day. There will be food packing with RI President Jennifer Jones.

Also PDG Henry Dotson talked about the good possibility that we will be starting an Interact Club at Skyline High School. He told the club that there is a very enthusiastic student that wants to bring it to Skyline. He has a Teacher Adviser and some students that want to join.

Then we talked about Toastmasters. Since the speaker from Toastmasters did not show, Tammy Broderick filled in. Tammy and Husband, Don have been in Toastmasters for many years. She explained when she started Toastmasters the club made her feel warm and welcome, so she could talk in-front of them. It is the reason why she can talk in front of groups today.

Also she talks about the alliance between Rotary and Toastmasters. In May 2019, Toastmasters International and Rotary International, formed a unique strategic alliance, drawing from the strength of their many similarities and complementary differences. The opportunity for Toastmasters members is primarily to establish fellowship and make new connections, contribute more to communities, and potentially elevate clubs. Rotary members have the opportunity to develop new skills and may ask to visit Toastmasters clubs or receive evaluations. Toastmasters also developed eight educational courses for Rotarians and Rotaractors, available on Rotary International’s Learning Center, which can be accessed by their members in nine languages.
