Our speaker next week at Rotary will be Rick Veenhoven, Chairman of the Board for the Civil War Muster.

Rick will immerse us in history as he talks about the re-enactors that take part in the VanRaalte Farm Civil War Muster.

Because of Covid-19 the muster did not take place this past year but Rick has some exciting things to share for the plans they have in 2021!

Stroll with Rick and explore the historic era at our meeting next week as we welcome him to our Rotary family!

 

A Meeting Suggestion:

From out Board of Directors:   For our members who want to participate in our meetings when we go live but are not comfortable with an in-person meeting get together, we would suggest they join with other members (social distancing of course) at their home for joint ZOOM togetherness!   We would invite members to do so and ask for ZOOM homes that may be willing to have other Rotarians join them for comradery sake.

Highway Clean-up Saturday, September 26,  8:00 am

Rain out date October 3.
 
So you're asking yourself, what happens when bubble gum gets stuck on a pop can?  They both sometimes (LOTS of times!) end up becoming trash on our highways!  So here's your chance to keep Holland beautiful!  On Saturday, September 26, we're going to ask that you join your friends in Rotary and help us clean-up other roadside "goodies" on U.S. 31.  You'll not only have fun and meet other people you might not know as well, but also will provide a service to our community by cleaning up part of this highly visible road! 
 
Meet at 8 a.m. at Veldheer's Tulip Farm (right on U.S. 31)  on September 26.  We need as many Rotarians as possible to meet at Veldheer's Tulip Farm (right on U.S. 31) at 8 a.m.!

Mike Moraw will bring the bags for the "treasure hunt", coffee (most important!) and our SPIFFY new (Spring-like even!) yellow Rotary or Michigan DOT green (Summer-like?) work vests.  All you have to bring is your energy and work gloves.  Oh, did we forget to mention...you get a make-up meeting credit for coming out to help?
 
If you haven’t noticed, Rotary has a sign on US 31 letting our neighbors know that this 2 mile stretch is ours”.

Please let Mike know if you and your smile can be a part of this clean up for our own little piece of Holland...let's make it beautiful for Tulip Time and summer...and THANKS!
