Club Assembly

Reverend Dave Stechholz opened the meeting with a pledge of allegiance and gave

the Invocation.


Mike Ladwig reported that our member and former Mayor of Livonia, Dennis Wright

is in critical conditions at St. Joe’s Hospital. Mike and his son Eric will visit and report

on his condition. He is not expected to live through the day.


Final Five Mile Road Cleanup for the year went well. It was attended by the

largest group to date thanks to the participation of the Interact Group from Churchill

High School. Greg Greene wants to set up all three dates for 2025 before January.

The District Governor's Golf Outing  at Lakes of Taylor received many accolades. Much of

the credit for its success was given to Bill Friske and Erin Dobbins, the organizers.

There were 51 clubs participating. Erin pointed out that a close out meeting will

happen when Bill returns from his camping trip up north. Thank you, cards need to

be sent, out.

Kids Coalition Against Hunger (KCAA) is coming up on October 12, 2024.

Tammy Bonifield pointed out that the other service clubs involved are light on

donations and volunteers. She requested that our membership reach out to family

and friends to provide volunteers. She recommended that LAMR only do one event

in 2025 by providing volunteers for a well-established event.


Ribbon Cutting for the Clarenceville Cooler Project is tomorrow October 3,

2024. Claude Kendrick asked for a volunteer to help drop off plaques to the donors

who are not attending the event. He asked that the attendees be there by 9:00. A

staff person will be at the north entrance to allow participants in. Nancy Darga

requested that pictures be taken of the event .


Livonia Hall of Fame Induction is also taking place on October 3, 2024. The event

starts at 7:00 pm at Rosedale Gardens Presbyterian Church. Pat will hand out our

new chip clips. This is a prestigious event honoring the work Livonia AM Rotary has

accomplished.


Report out on the District Governors, attendance at our last meeting on 9/25/2024. Nick Krayacich, indicated that there is a need for each local Rotary Club to focus on membership. District 6400 had over 2500 members and now is down to 1400. He wants each club to grow membership. He suggested our club look into Rotary Health Initiative.

Both Erin and Tammy Bonifield reported that pictures and stories they are sending to Sue Goldstein are not making it into the District 6400 Newsletter. After much

discussion on how we could improve this, it was pointed out that the newsletter

staff is looking at creating a portal system to submit articles through. Currently folks

just email pictures and articles to Sue. It was felt that she is bombarded. Tammy

offered to follow through in encouraging the development of an intake process.

It was decided to have a meeting before Thanksgiving on Wednesday, November 27,

2024. It was suggested that this meeting be a breakfast meeting at Senates Coney

Island on Haggerty Road.
