This is our 100th year celebrating Loftus Day, which honors Rotarians loved/lost in the past year. Following tradition, we will hold a short program on Friday, September 6th to remember selected individuals and reflect on our history, followed by a visit for those able to to a local cemetery. There are three main cemeteries that will be in an annual rotations, so each gets visited every third year. Please bring a bouquet of flowers (from your home garden, your favorite florist or roadside stand, etc), if you'd like to participate. At the end of the regular meeting, those wishing to go to the cemetery will gather.
Each person will be give a cemetery map, a section map, and a name, along with info about the deceased member. You'll be given a different name every year so that you get to know different people's stories. You'll drive (or carpool) to the cemetery, find the grave of your assigned person, place the flowers, and depart when you wish.
If you have questions, please contact myself, Dave@trumpiephotography.com or cathy@lansingrotary. com
Three past members who will be honored on Friday, September 6th, 2024 will be: Rev. Lawrence Richard "Dick" Ammons, Rick Anthony and J. Clyde Spencer, M.D.
