Adrian Morning Rotary

Today we were at the Farmer's Market with our first book give away, so we got to talk to people about the club and other things. It was a great Saturday. 🌞📚

Our Club held a special going away celebration for Jean Pfister during our recent social gathering at Sauce.

Jean was honored with the President's Award in recognition of her outstanding service, dedication, and commitment to the Adrian Morning Rotary over the past 11 years. Her willingness to serve, support our community, and live out Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self" has made a lasting impact on our Club and the people we serve.

Please join us in thanking Jean for her years of faithful service and in wishing her all the best in this next chapter. You will be greatly missed, and your Rotary family is grateful for all you have done.

It’s summer reading time, and our Little Free Libraries are getting stocked!

Stop by, take a peek, and see what new books are waiting for you. We even spotted My Dad’s Barber Shop by one of our local youth authors!

Grab a book OR leave a book, to help us keep the joy of reading going all summer long. 📚

Co-President Idalí Feliciano and Rotarian Michelle L. Lisboa Galindo visited the children at Adrian Community Preschool- Adrian, MI whom enjoyed two bilingual book readings, creating a fun and meaningful literacy experience for the young learners.

The Morning Rotary Club also provided pizza and cookies for lunch, while the preschool contributed vegetables, milk, and other essentials to round out the meal.

A true example that action speaks louder than words!

In support of the programs of @ The HOPE Community Center, Adrian Morning Rotary presented them with a $1,000 check to honor their 50th year celebration.

The tree planting was made possible by ReLeaf Michigan, the City of Adrian and Lenawee Watershed.

The group as a whole planted 35 new trees to be enjoyed by future generations.
