WELCOME, SUSANNE: We welcomed a Re-Rotarian to the club. That is, a former Rotarian who had left and now was returning. Susanne Edson has rejoined. She is an RN who has worked the past 17 years for the national company Juice Plus, the makers of natural fruits and vegetables in capsule form. She has lived in Naples, Fl., Atlanta, Ga. and Memphis between stints in Traverse City.
As it turns out, Rotary’s reputation for “Doing Good in the World” starts right at home.That’s the message our four keynote speakers – and fellow Rotarians – delivered to us on Tuesday at the Park Place dome.
Roy Pentilla, Sharron Zimmerman, Becky Ewing and Phil Ellis talked about the impact that the Community Foundation, World Community Service, Rotary Camps & Services and Rotary Charities have both locally and around the world.
They also shared with us the sources of monetary support. Each speaker took 10 minutes to address the meeting, then fielded questions afterwards. More details about the groups and the funding will be available on our Rotary website.
Event coordinated by the committee headed up by Mike Meindertsma. You can sign up on our club web program - Club Runner under events or pick up a sign up form at the meeting and give to Mike.
MEETING TIDBITS: Ed Downing was our song leader for his usual spirited melodies. He was accompanied by Byron Hanson… Gary Hogue gave the invocation
