HERBERT JOHN TAYLOR STATUE ERECTED 2002: A life size bronze statue to honor Mr. Taylor was erected by Rotary International District 6290 and the Christian Workers Foundation in the summer of 2002 at the intersection of Ashmun and Spruce Street in Sault Ste. Marie, MI.
Betsy Demaray, 2000-2001 District Governor RI District 6290, headed up this effort to honor a native son of Pickford and the greater Sault Ste. Marie, MI area. It took a little over 5 years to complete the project. The memorial statue was unveiled at Rotary International District 6290's annual Conference May 20, 2001.
This is the 2nd year Birch Run Rotary has sponsored the Birch Run 4th of July parade. -See our new photo album of participants.
Birch Run Rotary hosted for the 2nd year, the Birch Run Rotary Parade. There were 54 entries and many activities after the parade. The after parade activities were sponsored by the Birch Run Fire Department, Fleschner Memorial Library, Birch Run Rotary and The Frankenmuth Credit Union. The activities were: Hot dogs and Chips, water, ice cream, face painting, entertainment and a Bago Tournament.
Birch Run Rotarian's performed spring cleanup of the 2005 Centennial Rotary Project, Ashley's Butterfly Celebration at Wilderness Trails Zoo in Birch Run. See our new photo album.
The Birch Run Rotary Club is raising funds for a "Community Digital Sign". A concept picture is below.
The Birch Run Rotary Club is raising funds for a "Community Digital Sign". The sign will be in color, with a viewable area being 2'7" x 7'9" located in Gazebo Park at the corner of Main and Church Streets. It will be located on Village Property, with the intent of being used for Community Events announcements. It will be maintained and operated by the Village of Birch Run. The Village of Birch Run will do the installation and framing with materials that will match the Village of Birch Run. The sign will display the Rotary wheel with the words "Donated to the Community by the Birch Run Rotary Club".
This project will enhance the visibility of the events in Birch Run, add to the quality of the community, and provide an opportunity for the community to pull together for a project. The funds needed for this project are projected at $35,000. The Rotary Club of Birch Run has 20% of those funds already committed and has a number of fund raising events that will add to those funds. We expect there will be some in kind work, grants, community fund raisers and donations that will make this project a reality and success.
Pictures from Santa at the Gazebo are now post here and on the Birch Run Rotary Facebook page. Be sure to "Like" us at www.facebook.com/pages/Rotary-of-Birch-Run-Michigan/112005115512259 to see and have more pictures.
Santa at the Gazebo, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Birch Run was a great success.
The annual Santa at the Gazebo, was a great success last night. Sponsored by the Birch Run Rotary Club, the event gave close to 300 children the opportunity to tell Santa their Christmas wishes. The line started at 5:30pm and completed at 8:30pm for the 6pm-8pm gathering. There were two live Reindeer for the children to view and pet. Hot chocolate was available to take the chill off and each child was given a chocolate Santa. A good time was had by all and there was a great presence of Rotarian's volunteering their time for this community event.
Documents have now been added to the Birch Run Rotary website. Items such as the Club ByLaws, Nomination Form for New Members, a ClubRunner Manual, various Club Policies, Club Program ideas, etc. are now a click away. Check them out!
