(As President Jim looks on wistfully, Bonnie Hay answers a question after her presentation. After passing the gavel next week to President Elect Tim, Jim can rest as Past President justifiably proud of his accomplishments.) President Jim Lowell’s last meeting as President. We meet next Wednesday with President Elect Tim Baroni conducting our meeting and for the next 12 months as well.
Jim, the CLK Rotarians thank you for a successful Rotary year!
Guests included Dave & Linda Grahek, Bonnie Hay , and Capt Ben Kilpela.
Second Reading of Janice Vivian as potential member.
A variety of announcement & happy dollars were collected. Tom Scanlon paid his Happy $$ in foreign currency.
Bonnie Hay, representing the Gratiot Lake conservancy, delivered an interesting program showcasing the Gratiot Lake area. Much of what Bonnie presented is on the organizations web site www.miswa.org/gratiot-lake-1508/ The website includes a map with instructions on how to get to the Gratiot lake conservancy from US 41. Rotarians interested in driving to Gratiot Lake and seeing the area are encouraged to the check the website. Bonnie also suggested travel across the lake by boat to the access point. Visitors can hike, canoe or kayak. Winter visitors come by snowshoe.
The Conservancy is active in both conservation and education. The MTU summer youth program uses the J Bert Noblet cabin as a base to study water ecology. Local public schools also use the conservancy both for summer and winter camping and study.
Summer education programs include the Reading the Landscape. Additional information is available on the website listed above.
A very interesting program about a location many have never visited.
