🤩 Jamie NICHOLSON's WEEKLY WORD 🤩
An Attitude of Gratitude
As we spent time with family & friends last week to celebrate Thanksgiving, let's remember the origin of the holiday. After a previous, dreadful winter of loss and devastation for the Pilgrims and the Native Americans, they came together.

“It is therefore recommended . . . for solemn thanksgiving and praise, that with one heart and one voice the good people may express the grateful feelings of their hearts and consecrate themselves to the service of their divine benefactor . . . .”– November 1, 1777 (adopted by the 13 states as the first official Thanksgiving Proclamation) – Samuel Adams

TIPTON'S INSIDE SCOOP 
December is Rotary International Disease Prevention and Treatment month.  This Area of Focus is familiar to most of us because of the numerous projects supported by clubs and the Rotary Foundation throughout the world.  I urge you all to define your role in promoting improved health at home, in your communities and abroad in addition to supporting those vital programs that contribute to healthy communities and peaceful communities.
 
Rotary's top priority is the eradication of polio, but Rotarians take on far greater responsibilities to fight disease. They set up health camps and training facilities in undeveloped countries and in communities struggling with afflictions such as HIV/AIDS and malaria. Rotarians also design and build the infrastructure for doctors, nurses, governments, and partner to reach the one in six people in the world who can't afford to pay for health care.

How can you help?  Please support the health education programs that explain how diseases are spread, promote ways to reduce the risk of transmission, and support immunization campaigns against infectious diseases.  As incoming Rotary International President Elect Jennifer Jones recently noted during our Foundation + Membership Event, “We are a group of folks who immunize and get immunized.”
 
December also is the midpoint in our Rotary year and the end to an exhausting 2021.  We all continue to feel the impact of COVID.  My heartfelt sympathies go out to those who have experienced loss or hardship during this difficult period.  Despite this year's limitations, I am inspired by the opportunities we’ve found. Clubs have discovered new and innovative ways to fundraise and community activities to help them stay engaged, relevant and impactful.  Most clubs are moving back to much welcomed in-person meets by implementing protocols to keep everyone safe.  Thank you all for making a positive difference in our communities and around the world - especially at a time when it is most needed.
 
Lastly, we had an amazing November raising awareness for our Rotary Foundation.  Thank you to all who donated and participated in the main events throughout the District.   With the holiday season upon us, I, like you, am looking forward to enjoying quality time with my family and friends.  I am grateful for all that our Rotary family is doing to help others during this season in our communities and around the world.
 
Wishing all a very Happy and Safe Holiday Season -Woo Woo!!

HOWELL ROTARIAN HONORED FOR 66 YEARS OF SERVICE
When Harold Griffith joined the Howell Rotary in 1955, Dwight D. Eisenhower was president of the United States. NO women were members of Rotary International. 
 
Harry, age 91, was greeted by family and friends at the Howell Rotary Club's weekly meeting this past Monday.  According to a report on WHMI.com:
 
Harry’s daughter and fellow Howell Rotarian, Livingston County Commissioner Carol Griffith, who represents the third generation of the family to belong to the organization as Harry’s father-in-law, Harold Crandall, was also a member. Carol Griffith said that service was just part of the family. "It was. I think he really wears 'service above self' on his sleeve and it was something we just kind of followed in his footsteps in and we appreciated how to give back to the community and that all come, probably from a family tradition that began with my grandfather and my dad." Harry’s son, Scott Griffith, is a member and Past President of the Brighton Rotary and was also present.
