Sadly, Jerry Gross passed away last week. Funeral arrangements/memorial services have yet to be announced, but details will be shared via email to members when available. Jerry was a Rochester Rotary member for almost 12 years and served on the Set Up Committee for many years.  He worked at Chrysler before his retirement as a Product Development Specialist.
 
 
Please mark your calendar and invite your friends and family to our free ice cream social!
 
As we approach our 70th anniversary, we are excited to celebrate this milestone with a community ice cream social on Sunday, September 15. The event will take place at Rotary Gateway Park on Old Towne Road, next to the Rochester Hills Public Library, from 3 to 5 PM. We look forward to sharing this joyous occasion with you all.
Rotary International, formed in 1905, was the first service club in the world. Although not the first service club in the Rochester area, the Rochester Rotary is the largest service club in the area today. Rochester Rotarians raise about $100,000 annually by selling poinsettias during the holidays, hosting a wine tasting at Bordine’s of Rochester Hills, and hosting an annual golf outing. This money is then distributed to local, national, and international organizations that help those in need and support a scholarship program for high school seniors.
“The Club’s motto is Service Above Self, and although financial contributions are always welcome by the organizations supported by Rotary, Rochester Rotarians are also interested in lending a hand,” said Rotary President-Elect Rachel Aviles.  The club, along with the Rochester Hills Lions, the Rochester Lions, and the Rochester Kiwanis, is collecting underwear, socks, and pajamas for foster kids in the Detroit metro area.  Drop boxes for donated items will be available at the Rochester Hills Public Library and Eugenia’s 3rd Street Hair/Gallery, both in downtown Rochester. Donation boxes will be available from September 3 through September 20.
 
Jerry Carvey invited everyone to a sing-along at OPC on September 9th at 2 p.m.  Jerry promises that Rotarians will be familiar with all the songs.
