A Special Classification Speech!
Travis Witt (son of Steve and Amanda and grandson of Jim and Laura Witt) give a GREAT classification speech at Thursday's meeting! Travis is 11 and will be a 6th grader this year. He is active in several sports and is looking forward to seeing his friends when he returns to school. He told the club the thing he would miss most about the summer is going to Jim's Collision with his Dad. So, it wasn't a surprise to hear that working with his dad at Jim's Collision is a possible career goal. He loves coming to Rotary meetings and told the club he has learned that Roscommon Rotary helps others with funding needs and by volunteering. Travis is already a "Rotarian in the Making" and has helped on Stuff the Bus and the Metro Park Playground Install! We will miss you, Travis, and hope you might be able to squeeze in a club visit if you have a Thursday off from school.
August 28th Food Truck Volunteers:  Tom O'Brien, Samantha and Jimmy Anderson, Josh Alden, Jackie Bertsch and Sue Lantzsch. Roy Spangler was also there and we thought we had him in the photo. Unfortunately, Tom's arm wasn't quite long enough! Looks like  we might need to add a "Selfie Stick" to our tech budget. If you'd like to help on the September 25th distribution, please contact Sharon Groves at 586-899-0999. There were 250 families served at Saturday's distribution.
