Tiffany Fitzpatrick Talks About Michigan Human Trafficking At RCAAN Lunch Meeting on Aug. 18th.
Posted by Eric Tindall on Jul 18, 2019
At the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Lunch Meeting on August 18, 2019, Tiffany Fitzpatrick talked about Human Trafficking in Michigan. 
 
Tiffany is a fellow Rotarian and Past President of the Rotary Club in Saline. Last year she joined Love Runs, which is a non-profit organization based out of Northridge Church that focuses on fighting human trafficking in southeast Michigan.
 
Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. This crime occurs when a trafficker uses force, fraud or coercion to control another person for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or soliciting labor or services against his/her will. Force, fraud, or coercion need not be present if the individual engaging in commercial sex is under 18 years of age.
 
  • Sex trafficking is the recruitment, or soliciting of a person for the purposes of a commercial sex act, in which the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age. 
    • Sex Trafficking has been found in a wide variety of venues within the sex industry, including residential brothels,  escort services, fake massage businesses, strip clubs, and street prostitution.
  • Labor trafficking is the recruitment of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purposes of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery.
    • Labor trafficking has been found in diverse labor settings including, domestic work, small businesses, large farms, and factories.
Michigan ranks among the worst in the nation for sex slavery and human trafficking.

You will be able to bring your Green Baxter Court school supplies donation at this event. Last day for the donation is August 15th.
 
On Saturday, August 10, 2019 we are having a special service project at Food Gatherers Warehouse.

School Supplies For Green Baxter Court's Children.
Posted by Eric Tindall on Jul 13, 2019
We still need a lot of school supplies. All school supplies, absolutely needs to be turned in at the RCAAN lunch meeting this coming Thursday, August 15, 2019. This drive is for the whole school year, so the amount of supplies they need for the students is LARGE.
 
It is that time again to get school supplies for the children at Green Baxter Court. 
 
Frankie Moore said, "we have about 20-25 students expected to register for GBC programs this fall (elementary & teens). We could use help with any school supplies! but really any backpacks/supplies are welcome."
 
RCAAN members can start bringing the supplies for the children for July 18th lunch meeting. Please bring supplies to the lunch meetings by August 15th. Thank you in advance for you supplies for the children.
 
NEW THIS WEEK TO STORY: Do not worry about getting too much of one thing, we have 20-25 student's to buy for.
 
If you are concerned, everyone that are purchasing items, buy a variety of school supplies, that are on the list. The list is long.
 
Remember that this is a project with Community Action Network, nothing we give will be a waist. They will use every item we donate. 
 
Also if we do not have enough of an item, Community Action Network will be shopping for non-donated items, that is why they need our items by Mid-August. 
 
If you do not feel like shopping or just would like to help with the project, with a donation, money will be welcomed. Community Action Network will use it when they go shopping. Money can be given to Diane by August 15th.
 
Items we have enough of, so do not need to buy:
  • Composition Notebooks
 
 
New Rotary Ann Arbor Satellite Club.
Posted by Eric Tindall on Jul 13, 2019
If you can come to these gatherings for the new Rotary Club of Ann Arbor Satellite Club, please give them your support.
 

The Rotary Club of Ann Arbor now offers an alternative meeting time through the new RCAA Satellite. Join us for a more informal meeting every other Tuesday evening, 6-7:30 pm, at an Ann Arbor restaurant or pub! Feel free to come and have a drink, an appetizer, or dinner. This group is new, and we will tailor the RCAA Satellite experience based on what you want.

Satellite meetings are open to current RCAA members and anyone who may be looking to be part of Rotary. These meetings are perfect for young professionals, recent graduates, and others in the community who want to be part of a large service-based organization, but cannot regularly attend the regular RCAA Wednesday luncheon meetings or who may prefer a more informal, service project-based community.

WHERE: Arbor Brewing Company, 114 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI 48104

A Letter From 2019-2020 RI President Mark Danial Maloney
Posted by Eric Tindall on Jul 03, 2019
A new Rotary year is upon us, and let us say one final thank you to former President Barry Rassin for his outstanding leadership. Barry, we will miss you, but we know and appreciate that you will continue to lead Rotary in important ways for years to come.

I have spoken for several months about how Rotary Connects the World, and the time has now arrived to put our words into action. We have an exciting year ahead of us, a year when we begin to implement the new Strategic Plan, what I call the Rotary Action Plan and when we will celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter.

That anniversary will underscore the ties we have and goals we share with the United Nations. We will host five special events—UN Day in New York, three presidential conferences in Paris, Santiago, and Rome, and a final celebration just before the Convention in Honolulu. This will help us achieve the first Action Plan goal of increasing our impact by demonstrating that Rotary’s influence in the world has only just begun.

The second Action Plan goal is expanding our reach.  To achieve that, we need to grow Rotary – reaching out to new members, engaging current members, and creating more alternatives for membership for the next generation of Rotarians.

The third goal is enhanced participant engagement, making sure that Rotarians have experiences that are personally and professionally relevant and fulfilling. This is why I believe so strongly in building a more family-friendly Rotary -- one that welcomes children to our activities and that is considerate of families in our scheduling. Let us recommit to putting the needs, expectations, and growth of our participants at the center of all we do.

The final priority of our new Action Plan is increasing our ability to adapt. New approaches to our organizing principles do not threaten our sense of who we are. That is why I believe that Rotary must respect professional commitments and not require Rotary leadership to be a full-time job. We need to respect the time and responsibilities of young people who are building careers.

Together, we will harness the power of connection just as our organization has been doing for more than 114 years. We have a long, proud heritage. And we will continue to thrive because we are not afraid of change.

I look forward to leading you in this important journey, as Rotary Connects the World!

Yours in Rotary,
Mark Daniel Maloney
