ANNOUNCEMENTS
100 Acts of Service: This year our club aspires to complete 100 Acts of Service for our 100 years. If you did something to serve others in the last week, please be sure to record it in our online survey -- click here. Thank you!
Meeting In-Person on June 16: Save the date! On Wednesday, June 16 at 12:00 PM we will meet in-person under an outdoor tent at the Bay View Association. There will not be a Zoom option for this meeting. There will also not be a program, just much-anticipated social time! The Perry Hotel has agreed to offer catered box lunches. For planning purposes we will have people sign up to attend--please keep your eyes peeled for an emailed RSVP. You will be charged for your lunch if you sign up (whether or not you actually attend).
Rotary Logowear: If you ordered any Rotary apparel / products from Carter's Imagewear, just a friendly reminder that it will be available for pickup starting next Monday, June 7! Can't wait to see you out & about in your sassy new Rotary gear!!
Marathon Aid Station: Thank you to all who volunteered this past Saturday! It was a lot of fun. Over a 3.5 hour period, we had 12 Rotarians + friends cheering nearly 150 runners. Chris Hammond brought her boom box; Christian Smith serenaded us with a kazoo; Heidi Finley rocked an air horn; Lisa Loyd and Andrea Coronado drew sidewalk chalk art. Our aid station has a reputation for being the most lively, and this year was no exception!! Thank you!
Affordable Housing Forum in Emmet County: On June 15 in the Big Tent in Bay View there will be a forum on the need for affordable housing in Emmet County. This will be free and open to the public and it is being held 2:00 – 3:30 pm.
Past President Centennial Updates: Starting now, over the next 4 months, 19 past Presidents of our club will take turns giving a historical overview of club happenings in 5-year periods (until we reach 100 years). They will make remarks on what was happening in the world, in Petoskey, and in our club. THANK YOU to past president John Parker for kicking us off this week!! John was our club's 51st president, having served from 1972-1973. He talked about what happened nationally & locally from the first period (1920 - 1925).
