HAPPENINGS
Centennial Celebration – REMEMBER: Thursday evening, September 30th at the Hills of Lenawee! Please be sure and tell us if you’re coming and your meal selection for you and your guest/spouse if applicable. Starts at 5:30pm with a social gathering followed by dinner and program. THERE WILL BE NO REGULAR MEETING THAT DAY AT THE CENTER. The social event from 5:30-6:30pm has been totally underwritten by the Adrian Insurance Agency!!
 
Welcome Back Students – Thanks to those members and especially to Mark & Mary for arranging the event who braved the heat to participate in welcoming back students attending Adrian College and Siena Heights University in Downtown Adrian on Friday the 27th. They were Yours Truly, Mark & Mary, Carrie Dillon, Barry Reinink, Sue Lewis, Cindy Sutherland, and Kathy Williams! Thanks also to Brent Mercer for allowing us to set things up under his offices’ canopy!
 
 
Lenawee Bike Tour – We have raised over $22,000!!!! A sheet was passed around yesterday to recruit volunteers and to get their shirt sizes. It will be passed around again next week. Proceeds will go to Polio Plus, Rotary Woodworking Warriors and to the club. If you have not already, you are urged to make a donation to this effort or go on-line to register for the event at rotarybiketour.com. Chip and Chuck taped a promo announcement with WLEN this week that will air on September 2nd at 6:15pm.

Weekly Program Commitments – REMEMBER: All members need to think about who they would be able to contact for a presentation at one of our weekly meetings.
