Last Thursday night Pat Munshaw received one of 10 Statewide Governor Service Awards at the Fox Theatre in Detroit honoring her for volunteering in many capacities highlighted by her work administering Covid vaccinations.

 

Presented by the MI Community Service Commisssion through the office of the Governor, the commission works to leverage and catalyze innovation and the volunteer power of Michiganders to strengthen their communities, grow the eithic of civic engagement and build a stronger Michigan.

 

One of the ways the membership committee is looking at maintaining the overall health of the club is by making sure that new members have a positive experience. A mentor can help with that challenge. We’re looking for volunteers to say “I’ll mentor a new member.” What does this entail?

 

First, let me know you’re willing and then, when we get a new member we will assign a mentor to that new member. What do we expect of our mentors? Reach out to your assigned new member at a meeting, send them an email, meet them for lunch, call them on the phone and basically make yourself available to answer questions and give some guidance about what your experience has been as a Rotarian. It basically boils down to be lets be more user friendly for new members so they can enjoy the benefits of club membership more by understanding the club and foundation better. Please reach out to me to let me know your interested in mentoring a new member. Kevin Schumacher schumacher@glassenrhead.com

Rotarians, the Annual Holiday Appeal is upon us! The money donated will help fund the 99th Annual Holiday Gift for the special needs children of Gardner Elementary.

‘Twas the week before Thanksgiving, in the LBC Stock-house, with only Ann/John Cauley attending with their spouse.

 

 

 

 

1. “I’m so happy I’m not hosting for thanksgiving - and get to just show up with a green bean casserole!”

2. “On December 1st there is a celebrity chef night at Urban Beat and on December 3 there is a holiday hullabaloo in Old Town with lots of activities all over.”

3. “The cookie classes at Bradley’s sell out FAST!”

4. “The (LBC) Beaumont Brown is pretty good.”

5. “I just came to meet chicks.”

6. “Is there any more pizza?”

7. “Suddenly it’s WINTER!”

8. “Rotary is awesome!”
