At last I finally have gotten back to writing the Northstar newsletter! Rather than bore you with past events and happenings I will go forward with what has been happening over the last 2 weeks of Rotary.
Our meetings on May 22nd and May 29th opened with our traditions of the Pledge of Allegiance, opening prayers, the Four-Way test and songs picked for us by our song leader Scott Nelson.
Mary Gyorke was our greeter for the May 22nd meeting and our guests were Judge John Hammond from the Lakeshore club, Rick Alden guest speaker, and Kelvin Schindel, father of Bryan Schindel and visiting from Canada.
Don Patterson was our greeter for the May 29th meeting. Guests that visited us were, LuAnne Bibbee, President -Elect, and Aleia Jackson, Pres for the Livingston Sunrise club, Judge John Hammond, from the Lakeshore Club, Speakers Ann LeWalk and Tim Wicks, Dick Rosenfeld from the Jackson club, and John Rasmussen from the Ann Arbor Downtown club.
Prez. Keith started the announcements with a reminder that President’s night will be on June 26th at 6pm at The Eagle Crest conference center at the Marriott Hotel on Whittaker Road. Reservations are required and prepayment is expected by June 19.
Scott Nelson updated us on the butterfly garden which is coming along nicely and several workdays are planned. We need you! If you are available to work in the butterfly garden please check our website for dates and times of scheduled work days.
Unfortunately poker nights are still on hold due to recent issues with the Gaming commission. Please stay tuned for further updates.
If you haven’t been to Rotary in a while please take the time to go to the member profiles and update your profile. We are going to update our B.A.B.E.S list and would appreciate all the current information on Birthdays, Anniversaries, and blessed events in your life!
