The Rotary Club of Charlevoix recently completed a multi-year renovation of Rotary Park on Carpenter avenue. In this final phase, Club members installed a new slide, new benches, and a new T-Rex rider. The $37,000 total project was made possible with collaboration from the City of Charlevoix, and generous funding from The Charlevoix County Community Foundation, Rotary District 6290, and the Charlevoix Rotary Club. A special thank you to all of the Club members that helped with the installation, Swanson K&D, and Charlevoix Ace Hardware.

Charlevoix Rotarians give more than $36,000 to local, international projects
The Rotary Club of Charlevoix has so far awarded over $36,000 in 2015-16 to community projects and beyond, including a variety of efforts to assist youth, build communities, and aid global efforts to provide clean water and eradicate polio.
“We reside in a beautiful area of the world, but one that isn’t without acute need,” said current Rotary Club of Charlevoix president Jon VanWagnen. “We’re one of a number of local organizations in a position to channel community support and directly impact these issues for the better. Our organization considers it both our privilege and our duty to step in and help.”

Members of the Charlevoix Rotary Club gathered at Munson Healthcare Charlevoix Hospital on Thursday morning to present a check for $5,000 to the hospital’s Foundation. The generous check represented their ongoing support of the hospital’s recent capital campaign which included a complete redesign of the hospital’s surgery and laboratory services departments, and the creation of a third, larger operating room.
The Rotary’s check served to double the impact of community and employee gifts on Giving Tuesday (November 29), for a grand total of $10,225 raised – one spectacular day of giving! Thanks to the generosity of the local Rotarians, the community and employees of the hospital were challenged to raise a minimum of $5,000 in order to capture the complete matching gift of the Rotary Club.
Thank you very much to all the Rotarians and community members who came out on Saturday Dec. 17th to help us to raise over 2000 food items and $3079 for the Charlevoix Community Food Pantry.
This #GivingTuesday (November 29) the Rotary Club of Charlevoix has pledged to match all gifts to our hospital, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000! That means any gifts given in honor of this special day will go TWICE as far. We are grateful to our local Rotarians for giving us this wonderful opportunity – they mean it when they say “Service above self”! To reach our #GivingTuesday page, click on www.munsonhealthcare.org/

**** EVENT UPDATE****
We had a very successful event. Thanks to the generosity of the Lake Charlevoix Brewery, attendees, and our club match we successfully raised $2550. Each pint of beer sold resulted in $6 to EndPolioNow ($1 donated from LCBC, $1 match from the club, $4 from Gates foundation). Grand total raised from this event (including Gates foundation match) $12,750 resulting in the equivalent of one pint of beer immunizing 10 children!!
After another banner year for the Rotary Club of Charlevoix, President Jon VanWagnen presented Past President Mark Andresky with a plaque and gavel to show the clubs appreciation for all of his hard work.
