WE NEED INTERESTING SPEAKERS
[C'mon guys! I think I've sponsored three speakers for Rotary year 2020-2021. We ALL should bring in at least one interesting person who is a dynamic speaker. We have 50 active members, so that's one a week.]
Here's what Mark T. Robinson asks you to do: "We have open dates for speakers on July 23, August 20 and August 27. Be creative. Educate us. Entertain us. Challenge us." Send him an email with your nomination and why you chose them. mark@livingstoncatholiccharities.org [We also would like a short bio and a photo of your speaker at least a week before so we can highlight them in the LSRC BULLETIN.]
BRIGHTON COMMUNITY GAVE BLOOD AND SAVED 75 LIVES!
Congrats to all who came out to the Brighton Light House on Wednesday, June 30th. What a great effort! We officially collected 26 units of blood which included about 6 units of double red cells.
The next Versiti Brighton Community Blood Drive will be scheduled in September or October. Alisa Risner is our blood rep for Livingston County and seven other territories. She's doing a great job.
Who would llike to help organize the Livingston Rotary Club Blood Drive Challenge? It's easy to be a LifeSaver, especially if you are afraid of needles. I'll help.
