Rotary Donation: LHS OBots
Our club President, Dale Horowski, presented a $2500 District Local Grant to the Ludington High School Robotics Team 7160. Our club also donated a Matching $2500 making this a $5000 total. The OBots' Motto of Gracious Professionalism (helping others) aligns with our Motto of Service Above Self. We are proud to partner with very community minded group of young people.
Rotary's Seven Areas of Focus
Rotary has Seven Areas of Focus that guide our club in all of our community projects...local and international. These are our guideposts.
Interact Student Presentation
 
L.H.S. student members of the Rotary Interact Club joined us at our weekly club meeting on Thursday, 3/2.   Their presentation on their club's recent activities was impressive!
 
Mason County Historical Society
On February 9th, our usual Thursday club meeting was held at the Mason County Historical Society's new Research Center.  Jim Jensen, President of the Historical Society and long time Rotarian, provided an overview and tour of the Center.  Such an impressive facility!  Our community is fortunate to such a vibrant group dedicated to the preservation of our area's history.
2022 Holiday Auction Raises $35,000
Our 23 rd annual Rotary Holiday Auction was held on December 7, 2022 at the Stearns Ballroom and raised a record amount for our community programs.

Proceeds go to support the STRIVE program, scholarships to LHS, WSCC, and G2S Academy, and other community improvement projects. This was the first time
we attempted a hybrid event, with silent auction bidding online for over 100 items, and live auction bidding in-person for a dozen select items and experiences.
 
Food was provided by Gloria Ann’s catering, and our own Jac Russell (left) served as the Emcee and Auctioneer. Thanks go to all those who attended to be online or in-person, and to our very generous community business who donated items for the cause.
 
Members of our Rotary AuctionCommittee, including Jac Russell, are Dan Sleeman (also pictured), Nancy Fife (chairperson), Michelle King, Jenna Simpler, Dan Hinderer, Tom Lane, Kathy Bromley, Julee Sarto, and Jim Jensen. We appreciate their hard work.
Rotary auction success will help with STRIVE, more
The 2021 Rotary Holiday Auction raised even more money for local Rotary projects than the previous year’s event. Both were held online due to the pandemic.
 
The total for 2021 was $32,152, thanks to donors, bidders and sponsors. 

“We were very happy with the amount we raised, and are very grateful to all who participated,” said Dale Horowski, auction chair for the Rotary Club of Ludington.

Funds will help support the Rotary Club of Ludington STRIVE program and other Rotary projects, like upgrades to Rotary Park, books for local students, scholarships and more.

STRIVE (Students Taking a Renewed Interest In the Value of Education) is one of the club’s signature programs, matching mentors with students who are struggling, and providing students with financial incentives, special events and scholarship opportunities.
