Club Information
In recognition of Rotary International’s Environment Month, the Area 7 Rotary Clubs collaborated with the Flint River Watershed Coalition on April 26th to plant a thousand trees at four City of Flint parks. Rotarians from the Fenton, Flint, Flushing, Genesee Valley and Greater Flint Sunrise Clubs joined forces with around 20 additional community volunteers, including students from Kettering University, to take part in this service opportunity to enhance green spaces, improve air quality, and contribute to a healthier environment for Flint residents.  Undeterred by the chilly and damp weather, the groups completed their mission of planting a variety of saplings at Thread Lake, Whaley, Clara Hilborn and Cook parks.
 
“This project is a great opportunity to make a lasting impact on our community while bringing people together in service,” said Ashoka Rao, leader of the initiative and member of Greater Flint Sunrise. “Planting trees not only beautifies our parks but also supports cleaner air and a healthier environment for future generations.”
 
"Improving our community is at the heart of Rotary. It's especially meaningful and rewarding when Rotarians join forces with other volunteers to serve and make a lasting impact on our environment and future generations." - Ellen Echols, President, Rotary Club of Flint
 
 
 
 
Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Flint and other Area 7 Rotary and Interact clubs volunteered at the Crim Rotary Mile on Saturday, August 24. District Governor Katherine Hahn joined in the fun. Together, Rotarians staffed intersections and water stations along the Rotary Mile (roughly between miles 6 and 7 of the Crim 10-Mile race) to keep the course safe from traffic, offer hydration, and cheer on the runners, walkers, and hand cyclists.

Each year, the Rotary Club of Flint sponsors local students to participate in a district-wide youth leadership program called Seminar for Tomorrow's Leaders. The program brings together high school students from different parts of Ontario and Michigan to the campus of Western University in London, Ontario for a jam-packed three-day weekend. They explore what it means to be a leader through hands-on activities, guest speakers, and discussions, covering topics that would be familiar to Rotarians-- service, teamwork, careers, and global perspectives. Seminar for Tomorrow's Leaders was ahead of its time, starting in 1961 and predating the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards that have become a standard for many Rotary Clubs. Students are selected because they have demonstrated leadership qualities.
 
On June 14, the two high school students sponsored by the Rotary Club of Flint visited to share about their experiences. Koen Hernandez and Andrew Kang are both students at Powers Catholic High School in Flint and have leadership roles with their school's Rotoract Club as the incoming President and Treasurer. (Rotoract is a version of Rotary geared to high school students. Flint Powers Catholic has the largest Rotoract club in the district!) They were joined by Joe Reynolds, the Past President of the Genesee Valley Rotary Club and coordinator of the Seminar for Tomorrow's Leaders program from our area. Koen and Andrew reported that they enjoyed their time stepping out of their comfort zone and meeting lots of people from other communities.  They both appreciated the opportunity to attend the conference and encouraged other young people to pursue the opportunity as well.
