This is a very special student recognition day because we will be presenting $1,000 scholarship checks to the three seniors who have been selected by their schools to be Students of the Year.
Our deepest thanks to the teachers and administrators from Carman-Ainsworth, Swartz Creek and Powers for teaching and nurturing so many great students throughout the year and thanks to the parents for raising our leaders of the future.
May 28, 2024 - The Beecher Tornado of 1953
Dr. Michael Heberling
71 years ago, on June 8th, 1973, a devastating tornado tore through the Flint-Beecher area leaving in it's wake 116 dead, 844 injured and 750 homes either destroyed or damaged. Called the worst natural disaster in Michigan history, the presentation will look back with pictures and stories about the tornado and the subsequent recovery.
Dr. Heberling is a retired administrator from Baker College and past president of the Greater Flint Sunrise Rotary.
Each week the club holds a 50/50 drawing with proceeds going to our
literacy project fund. Tickets are $1.00 each, 3 for $2.00. Three tickets from that week's donations are drawn and, in turn, each drawn ticket holder gets to select a card from an ever shrinking deck hoping to get the designated card and win the pot. Losing cards are discarded, the deck gets smaller and if no one wins the pot that week, it is rolled over to the next drawing.
After the Meeting of April 30th...
The pot is $122, 25 cards left in the deck.
