Click on the link above (or at the bottom) to see the WHOLE BULLETIN! 
(You miss half the news if you don't)
 
Dear Readers,
Miss me? I was completely distracted last week and did not get out the newsletter. So I need your help.
 
Please send me any pictures you take at ANY Rotary event. Salvation Army bell-ringing? Family of Rotary Lunch? Visiting another club?
 
Focus on faces and identify who they are and just slip me a note about the event. Your deadline is Noon, every Tuesday. Send to MLenninger@gmail.com and you also can call me at (810) 225-9668 to clue me in. Please place the word "Rotary" somewhere in the subject line.
 
On another note, I have officially "retired" from being publisher of NEIGHBORS of Greater Brighton magazine. If you have an items for the calendar, send them via www.BestVersionMedia.com/Submit-Content  I am, however, looking for a part-time opportunity in the marketing, advertising and public relations field. 
 
Thanks for reading the Bulletin!
 
J. Michael
 
There should be at least $200 in the 50/50 drawing, I guess; 34 cards left, if you're counting.  Bring your money; exact change is appreciated! $5 for three tickets or $2 each. All proceeds go towards the 2023 President's Night!

THIS WEEK'S MEETING...
 
Hello Rotary Friends,
 
Hope that everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! 
 
Just a few items of interest this week . . .
 
November was Rotary International Foundation Month.  Last week was #GivingTuesday.  Please consider a gift to the Rotary Foundation to support the good works we are doing around the world.  It is super easy to give online!
 
Secondly, on the next page is a Leadership Summary that I wanted you to have as we start thinking about leadership commitments for the next Rotary year.  (I know, it seems like we just started this one!)
 
Friday's meeting is an important one - our Annual Meeting.  We'll be electing our officers for next year, reviewing our Club finances, and learning about the history of our Club.
 
Hope to see you all Friday morning!
 
Donna
