Fall is among us and there is a lot happening. I look forward to seeing everyone at our club meeting this Friday Oct 23, where we will be joined by our District Governor Lorna Gunning Fratschko . As a reminder, our District Governor has asked us all to bring a guest to this meeting.
Club Service
We are partnering with Kettering University Alpha Phi Omega again this year for a Trunk or Treat on Sunday October 25 from 2-4pm at Flint Atwood Stadium. There are two ways you can lend service to this cause.

- Donate Candy - If you would like to Donate candy toward the event, simply bring your candy to our Oct 23 club meeting.
World Polio Day
What does a small drop, a purple nail, and over a million Rotarians have in common? Progress toward ending Polio! We will share more on Friday about the collective efforts and progress to eradicate polio in honor of World Polio Day which is
October 24. You can join fellow Rotarians in making a donation to end polio through our district Coco Challenge at
