Howell Rotary Club recently celebrated its rich history in Livingston County at a 100th Anniversary Celebration at Chemung Hills Country Club. The evening’s program shared many successes of the Club — including starting the Brighton Rotary Club — and many years of success with the Tour de Livingston bicycling event, which has raised over $460,000 for local basic need programs.
As a culmination of their 100 Year Celebration, the club’s members decided that proceeds from the event — $13,500 — go to the Livingston County United Way to support its local initiatives focused on shelter, safety, coordinated activities, and more.
The Howell Rotary is also known for its Howell Melon Ice Cream sales at Howell Melon Festival to support local youth initiatives, scholarships and the Howell Interact Club.
Howell Rotarians are well known throughout community as leaders; many Rotarians have held public office, and/or have been an elected official. The group is also recognized for its volunteer involvement.
“As we gather to commemorate a century of the Howell Rotary Club, I am filled with an immense gratitude and humility. Our journey to this milestone has been marked by countless acts of kindness, generosity, and a commitment to making a positive impact,” said Howell Rotary Club President Liz Welch. “Each Howell Rotarian is a part of a legacy of amazing people who embody the true spirit of service and community. Here’s to another century of service, fellowship, and making a difference.”
The Howell Rotary Club meets every Monday at noon, at the Board of Education Room in the Howell Freshman Campus. For more information about the Howell Rotary Club, contact howellrotary2987@gmail.com.
