Rotary-Supported Project Honored

South Haven Rotary was represented by immediate past president Mark Odland during a ceremony on February 26 honoring the City of South Haven by the American Public Works Association for the construction of the Splashpad last summer.

Here is a link to a news story about the award:

The Rotary Club of South Haven and Rotary District 6360 Foundation were among the lead donors for the project.

In Service to Community

The COVID pandemic prevented South Haven Rotarians from holding their annual in-person holiday dinner this year, but it didn't put a lid on the Rotarian's generous hearts.

A tradition at the holiday dinner has been to take a collection for the community outreach programs of We Care, Inc. This year members during their weekly remote ZOOM meetings were encouraged to continue their generosity.

The Rotarians responded with gifts totaling $4,100 designated for the We Care food and personal care pantries.

It is the second significant gift to We Care from the South Haven Rotarians during the current crisis. Earlier, the club presented $6,250 representing member's gifts and a grant from Rotary District 6360 Foundation and Rotary International Foundation for the personal care pantry and utilities ministry of We Care.

The recent gift was presented to We Care Executive Director Erika Morrison by Rotarians Tom Rummel, Bill Roberts, and Tom Ruesink (not pictured).

Rotary Year in Review

2020 was unlike any other year in the history of the Rotary Club of South Haven. While we have been able to meet in person for nearly a year, it hasn't stopped South Haven Rotarians from being active in the community. Here is a collection of photos highlighting the Year in Review.
