This week our meeting looked a little different. Our Rotarians were working hard prepping for Brew on the Bay 2027! 🍻 We spend several months preparing for this event to make it a success. Thanks to everyone who joined us for our work bee.

Can’t wait for you to join us next March! 🍻

August brought some exciting presentations and opportunities to learn. We were happy to welcome Conservation Officer Fox to share more about how the DNR supports our communities. We also had Cassidy Beach in to share more about her research initiatives between NOAA and the Viking Cruise ships.

Rotary offers great opportunities to hear more about our community and the great work that is being done all around us!

We were happy to get over to the Alpena County Fair and drop by the 4-H Market Sale last week. President Bobby attended on behalf of the Rotary Club and purchased a pig from Chloe Rocz which will be donated to our local soup kitchen.

We’d like to give a huge shout to all of the kids, families, and everyone else that support our local 4-H program. The amount of time and effort that goes into this program is amazing!

The past few weeks have been all about some of the greatest things we have to offer in Northern Michigan; our beautiful lakes, fishing, and water sports.

A few weeks ago we learned about the Lady Michigan boat tours, followed by a presentation from our Harbormaster, and then all about the Alpena Youth Sailing Club and the great things they’re doing. It’s really quite remarkable how many amazing things Alpena has to offer. Our community is a true gem!

Last week we had an amazing presentation from Captain Evelyn and learned all about the Alpena Shipwreck Tours. She shared the tour opportunities and her fun experiences. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should!
