Goal: To be the team with the most pts by the end of the game (Oct 24th). Prize: You get bragging rights!!!
For every coin/dollar put in points are as follows:
Pennies-1 pt
Nickels-5 pts
Dimes-10 pts
Quarters- 25 pts for your team, and you get to decide which team you would like to deduct 25pts from. (A note designating the deduction must be turned in when putting the quarters in your bucket-you can only pick one team per week to deduct points from. In other words-all quarters collected in that week for your team you can only take points away from one other team.)
$1-100 pts

A gratifying Saturday evening of Rotary fellowship & fun spent cooking dinner, serving meals and cleaning for families of pediatric patients who stay at Ann Arbor's Ronald McDonald House- thanks to Brigitte Romero for organizing and all club members who contributed meals and time.

In June 2015, RI President Ravi Ravindran announced a new benefit for Rotarians: Rotary Global Rewards. This program aims to boost membership and enhance member satisfaction. It debuted on July 1.
“This innovative new program will allow Rotary members to connect with hundreds of businesses and service providers from around the world -- and that number is growing,” said Ravindran. “These establishments will offer Rotarians discounts and concessions on the everyday business that you do. And, in many cases, not only will you benefit, but our Foundation will as well, by receiving a contribution with each transaction.”
The program will include discounts on car rentals, hotels, dining, and entertainment. Discounts on more products and services from companies worldwide are expected to be added throughout the year.
“It will be another way to benefit from being a Rotarian and being part of the Rotary network,” said Ravindran, whose presidential theme for 2015-16 is Be a Gift to the World. “I urge all of you to become a part of that scheme.”
To enroll in Rotary Rewards and also for the latest in Rotary News, to check your contribution status and for other information, you need to enroll in My Rotary. For step-by-step directions on enrollment in My Rotary, click here
