After meeting many of you at the Rotary Leadership Institute in Ann Arbor a few weeks ago, I promised to send out an email with details for the Purple Rose Theatre Rotary Night event that our Chelsea Club is planning for Sept. 26th. Many have been to the Purple Rose before and love Chelsea because of it.
Our club bought out the entire theater so we could invite local Rotary clubs to enjoy a social night and meet other Rotarians. Ticket are $65 each, and include appetizers and wine/beer before the show, and coffee with dessert after the show. If you would like to bring a group of Rotarians from your club to join us, please email me back with your interest and our chairman of the event, Lorna Tackwell, will contact you to collect your information.
Here is a little more about the Purple Rose, for those who have never been to it yet!
The annual spring FUNdraiser has been tentatively set for Saturday, February 6 - that's just five and a half months away! Before we start our formal event planning process, you have been sent a survey to assess member interest in the event and in the theme.
TO DATE, WE HAVE RECEIVED ONLY 10 RESPONSES TO THE SURVEY. If you have not completed the short questionnaire, PLEASE complete the survey at your earliest convenience. The information that our members share is vital to our planning process and based upon interest, will determine if we proceed with the event or look for another fundraising strategy.
Do you know someone who has attended the event and would be interested in sharing their opinions? You are welcome to share the survey as we are also interested in hearing from previous attendees. You can share the survey via the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/L657RCH
To change the world, have fun with like minded leaders, be inspired to pursue your dreams and motivated to take action!
Throughout history, so many made those dreams reality. Can you hear the voices? Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, plus many other great talents who created the unique Motown sound in Detroit.
The great American industrialist, Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right…the whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one’s destiny to do, and then do it.”
That’s why we gather. To learn, laugh and help fulfill our destiny.
Detroit is going through a cultural renaissance and has a great story that needs to be told. Just like Rotary.
