Trinity Schindel Talks About Her Upcoming Studies In Germany At Lunch On May 26th.
Posted on May 26, 2022
At the May 26, 2022, Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Lunch Meeting, Trinity Schindel (Daughter of Rotarian Bryan Schindel) talked about her upcoming Rotary Youth Exchange year of studies in Germany 
 
This past week Trinity, just got back from Ontario Canada, in which she had a Rotary Youth Exchange training. At the exchange she learned a lot about the exchange and how to handle culture shock which happens when you go to a different Country.
 
Rotary Youth Exchange is where students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Trinity is sponsored by Ann Arbor North and is going to Germany. Germany was not Trinity's first choice, but she is very happy to go. She has already met with her first Exchange Family in Germany and they speak English. Her German is not very good but Rotary does have training in Germany for her when she arrives.
 
Trinity will be going to Germany in August and will stay a full academic year, she will attend a local school and live with multiple host families.
 
Trinity said she is very appreciative to Tammy and the rest of our club for giving her this opportunity of studying abroad.
 
 
Manish Mehta Talks About His Humanitarian Award
Posted on May 12, 2022
At the April 13, 2022 Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Lunch Meeting at our new meeting location University Living of Ann Arbor we had Manish Mehta talk about his Humanitarian Award from The Ann Arbor Rotary Club.
 
Manish Mehta received the Robert S Northrup Humanitarian Award from the Ann Arbor Club earlier in the month for his work in international projects. 
 
He started the meeting with a brief biography of his early life and then went on to the project he has been involved with:
Manish's last remark was to thank the Club of Ann Arbor North for all our participation and tell us how much he appreciated what we have done.
 
Also at the meeting Bob Specht talked more about the Tote Bag Project starting up in June.
  • Dexter and Chelsea will participate in this project
  • Chelsea Rotary has a project involving selling handmade, free trade African baskets, and Motown Soup at the Chelsea Farmers’ Market. 
  • RCAAN is now considering the alternative of completely combining the efforts of our club, with those of the Chelsea Club, and possibly even with the Dexter Club. 
  • Bob is now looking into the possibility of reserving and/or renting a table at the Ypsilanti Farmers’ Market where we would be able to sell the baskets and the soup, either give away or seek a small donation (e.g. $1.00) for each tote bag, and provide shopper’s with the opportunity to sign up for our club’s e-newsletter and/or to make a donation to Rotary’s international efforts to eradicate polio in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
  • All plans for this project  are tentative. Planning is still in progress.

On April 23, 2022, the Rotary District 6380 celebrated Earth Day by having an Environmental Workday at Vestergaard Farms located at 4408 S. Wagner Rd. Ann Arbor.
 
Scott Nelson talked about Rotary's new seventh Area of Focus Environmental and a project he participates in called Plant Based Diet.
 
Max Vestergaard talked about the Vestergaard Farm. It is a family run farm which practices pasture-based farming with rotational grazing, prioritizing the well-being of our livestock. Their animals are raised humanely, sustainably and processed locally.
 
​T.C. Collins then talked about Willow Run Acres and how he started his organization. Willow Run Acres offers educational/gardening classes for all skills/age levels, garden safety classes, yearly Potato Day Programs, food distribution, service the community with weekly/monthly clean-up sessions, gardening wellness sites, role modeling/mentor opportunities, and other community engagements.
 
After the three talked the group went out to T.C. 's gardening beds and we wedded, mulched and moved beds.
 
The day ended with a lunch with Jimmy Jone's Sandwich's, chips and cookies.

Posted on Apr 14, 2022
At the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Lunch Meeting on April 14, 2022, Bob Specht talked about a new RCAAN project that will start in June. 
 
The project will hopefully get a District Grant and involve other Rotary Clubs. Bob described, clubs will be going to Farmer Markets in the area, using a display table we will give out free Rotary Bags to customers to use while they shop the Market. In the bags will have Rotary Club and Rotary information telling customers about Rotary.

Lastly at the meeting Norma Sarkar announced that Dr. Manish Mehta will receive the Robert Northrup Award given out by Rotary Club of Ann Arbor.  The formal presentation will be on April 27th at a meeting of the Downtown Ann Arbor  rotary club meeting.

Hoping For Peace in Ukraine. 
Rotary International Statement on Ukraine and Russia Crisis:
 
It is a tragic and sad time for the people of Ukraine and the world.
 
At Rotary, we are deeply concerned by the deteriorating situation in Ukraine and the escalating loss of life and humanitarian hardship there. Continued military action against Ukraine will not only devastate the region, but also risk spreading tragic consequences across Europe and the world.
 
As one of the world’s largest humanitarian organizations, we have made peace the cornerstone of our global mission. We join the international community in calling for an immediate cease fire, withdrawal of Russian forces, and a restoration of diplomatic efforts to resolve this conflict through dialogue.
 
In the past decade, Rotary clubs in Ukraine, Russia and nearby countries have transcended national differences and have actively engaged in peace-building projects to promote goodwill and to marshal assistance for the victims of war and violence.
 
Today, our thoughts are with our fellow Rotary members and others in Ukraine coping with these tragic events. Rotary International will do everything in its power to bring aid, support and peace to the region.
