Another batch of students joined the STRIVE program for the 2009-2010 school year. STRIVE is a program for kids who want to make change in their attitude and performance in high school during their senior year. You can read more about it here.

The first meeting of mentors and students takes place at the bowling alley (see picture below). Good luck to all of the students.

International Project: Cameroon

CheboyganRotary — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 16:16:17 +0000

We have the opportunity to help Anna Stormzand (from Cheboygan) as she works in Cameroon with the Peace Corps. She is currently serving in the town of Banyo. Our plan is to put together some items and then ship them to Anna. Here are some of the things that would be most helpful: for kids – soccer balls, pumps, soccer jerseys and sports tees, and soccer shoes for kids 8-13. On the health side, the Catholic Mission in Banyo could use: bandages, gauze, sterile gloves, ibuprofen, motrin, anti-biotic cream or ointment, aspirin, cough meds, cough lozenges, eye drops, eye patches, a blood pressure cuff, a stethoscope or any other first aid supplies.

We will be collecting the supplies at club meetings.
