On August 8, the 50 Rotary clubs in our local Rotary District, made up of clubs in Michigan and Ontario, will be participating in a day of food collection and delivery to each club’s small local food pantry.  Since the staff and students of Renaissance High School are so helpful to us with our Shoes For Kids program, we’d like to give back to RHS by our club’s participation in the food pantry service project at Renaissance High School. Theirs is a community pantry that is located outside the high school which can be accessed 24/7.  It is “give what you can and take what you need” idea. Members of the Clarkston Rotary Club are collecting food and will deliver the food items to the high school before joining other Rotary club members from Michigan and Ontario for a delicious meal, a recap of the day of outreach, and general fellowship.

At our meeting on Monday,  we heard from a group of Clarkston Middle School students who are a part of the RoboWolves robotics team.  They explained the game and demonstrated the robot that they will be taking to the World Robotics competition in Houston in April.  They each spoke about the role they play on the team. It was great to see these young people so knowledgeable about the various aspects of teamwork! We’re looking forward to hearing how they do at the competition!
