Wheels Of Hope Presidency
Our very own Al Bonney has decided it is time to retire as the President of Wheels Of Hope and he needs someone to step up and take over as the head of this fantastic organization. Al will still remain a board member and a source of knowledge and support for the new president, so if you are interested or have any questions you can email Al Bonney at rotaryal6290@gmail.com.
 
For more information click the link below to look over the job description and be sure to visit www.wheelsofhope.net for background organization and the work they have done. 
 
White Pine Bike Ride
The Rotary Club of Cadillac is hosting the 5th annual White Pine Bike Ride to support the White Pine Trail on September 16th. There are several legs of the race so anyone can participate in as little or as much as you'd like. Be sure to visit the link below since the event website has tons of information to answer any questions you may have and you can register there as well. It will be a great event so even if you are not participating you can support the club by attending and cheering on the riders!
Update On Books From Birth
A TC Sunrise Rotary Project
If you missed the announcement from Karen Eckhardt of the TC Sunrise Rotary at a previous meeting be sure to catch up on the details of Books From Birth here
 
The Traverse City Horse Shows have offered to donate all general admission ticket proceeds from September 10th to the project so you can support both by purchasing tickets for that day! You can find more details here.
 
You can also donate yourself and if it is before September 5th you are entered into a drawing to win two VIP tickets to the horse show event on the 10th.
