CLUB MEETUP INFO
Samantha Brish introduces our guest speaker Kate Melcher, executive director of Fisher House Michigan in Ann Arbor, a non-profit charitable organization(formally known as Build It For The Brave) that works to provide housing to military and veteran families while their soldier is in a VA Hospital for surgery or long term treatment.
 
(It's very similar to what Ronald McDonald House provides for parents of children being treated at area hospitals.)
 
Captain Kate Melcher has had a wide and varied career, starting out with an internship at the United States Supreme Court as a researcher and speech writer with former Chief Justice William Rehnquist, moving on to be a senior aide to THREE U.S. Senators.
 
After 9/11 she enlisted in the United States Army and from 2005 - 2013 serving as an AH-64D Apache Longbow Helicopter Gunship pilot, and as a Legislative Liaison Officer for the US Army National Guard. 
 
A Saline native, Kate moved back to Michigan in 2017 , and Gov. Rick Snyder named her the 2018 Veteran of the Year through the Michigan Fitness Foundation.

The PHRASE THAT PAYS this week is "TEN-HUT!" which for non-military means there is an officer in the room, and you must stand at attention.  Text "TEN-HUT" to me at 810-986-9320 and greet me Friday. Whoever is first shall receive a special PRIZE.

Lunch WENESDAYs Rotary Family in BRIGHTON
WEDNESDAYs in March, please join your fellow Rotarians for lunch at CHILI's in Brighton. We will gather at noon to talk about a variety of interesting topics and get to know one another a little bit better. [Your editor is easily confused. Remember Howell on Tuesdays on Odd months and Brighton on Wednesday on Even months. HOT-O, BOW-E.]
 
Come on out for some great food, good conversation (check the link above for menu choices...) and quality time with your Rotary extended family. Bring a spouse or co-worker as a no-pressure introduction to what makes Rotary so special. 
 
 There's room at the table for YOU, so mark your calendars NOW as a reminder for Lunch every WEDNESDAY in March.
