Announcements & Upcoming events:
- Owens Elementary School: Paul Toepp indicated that Guided Reading will be Wednesday. Please be at the school at 9:15 a.m. Reading will last until 10:30. There will be a spelling bee this week and the school may need more volunteer judges. Call Paul Toepp if there are any questions.
- Hope Warming Center. Bill Roy indicated that we are serving dinner at HWC on May 14 and June 19, and circulated sign up sheets.
- Monarach Wings. Mark Anderson indicated that renovations are still taking place at Monarch Wings each Saturday. Volunteers are needed. Call Mark if there are any questions.
- The Birmingham Hometown Parade is May 19th. The "Spark Plug" Rotary Car will participate, with District Governor Jane McManus driving.
- The District Conference will be held May 3-4 in Detroit.
- Dilip Kuchipudi has reset the date for the authentic Indian lunch. It will be held Sunday, June 9th.
- President Chris reminded everyone to participate in Every Rotarian Every Year. Each Rotarian is urged to contribute $100.00 each year to one of the Rotary International funds. The easiest way is to set up an auto donation with your credit card, which can be done on the Rotary International web site.
- Unfortunately it began raining last Saturday and we were not able to do the Maple Road Cleanup. Thanks to all who showed up at the appointed time. Mark Cooper will now take lead on this project. Many thanks to Pat Grady who started this project in 1996 and has lead the project since then.
- RYLA was a great success this year. Thanks to all who participated. RYLA will take place April 24-26 2020, and volunteer chaperones will be needed.
- Michael Williams indicated that Bike Day at Orchard Children’s Services will take place June 19-21. Anyone who can donate a tricycle will be especially welcome. Call Michael for details.
- The Memorial Day Service will take place on May 27th in Shain Park.
Raffle Card Drawing:
Paul Toepp won the $7.00 daily drawing. Nobody picked the Jack of Spades and the pot lives.
Sheriff: Michael Williams was sheriff and heavily fined all those who were in the rain Saturday of in the sun on Sunday. Peace and order is restored!
Speaker: Peter Kreher was host to our speaker Carol Mastroianni of the Birmingham-Bloomfield Community Coalition. BBCC’s goal is to prevent substance abuse and encourage healthy lifestyle choices among our middle and high school students. BBCC surveys middle and high school students each year and has found that a significant number of students have used substances, and have experienced bouts of anxiety/depression. "Vaping" is an increasing problem. The hyper competitive college admission process and "snowplow parenting" may be contributing to these alarming statistics. The BBCC has developed a number of approaches to the problem, including a Youth Action Board, Highly Effective Teens Initiative and a Youth Dialog Day. BBCC would be amenable to collaboration with the Club’s Mental Health Committee.
President Chris Mc Logan led the club in a rousing rendition of "Smiles", reminded everyone to "Be the Inspiration", and then adjourned the meeting at 1:15 p.m.
