Kara for Dow spoke to Rotary Members Tuesday, September 20: Collaborated with Meijer on a Plastic Bag Recycling Project
In collaboration with Meijer, Dow ( NYSE: DOW) enabled a new paving technique using recycled plastic bags to create a more durable parking lot for the retailer's Holland, Mich. supercenter. This recycled polymer modified asphalt (RPMA) parking lot is a three-phase pilot project that used approximately 12,500 pounds of post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR), the equivalent weight of 944,000 plastic grocery bags.
This project brings recycled plastic bags full circle and represents a long-term collaboration between two Michigan companies working toward a more sustainable future.
This pilot project incorporated numerous partners to take the recycled plastics and turn them into a resurfaced parking lot. PADNOS, a materials recycler, aggregated the Meijer recycled plastics and converted them into usable PCR content. K-Tech Specialty Coatings, an asphalt emulsion company, modified the base asphalt binder with ELVALOY™ RET and PCR content. Rieth-Riley, the construction contractor, produced the final hot-mix asphalt and paved the Meijer parking lot and gas station.

Tuesday, August 9th Rotary Meeting Speaker: Kaitlin Snyder, Foster Closet of Michigan Wexford Missaukee
The Foster Closet is an all-volunteer 501 c 3, tax-exempt, non-profit organization providing aid to children in foster care, guardianship, or kinship care. Ran 100% by nonpaid volunteers to provide these 100% donated items for free to these children.
Foster Parents, grandparents, guardians, and kinships can be unprepared for a newly placed child in terms of having the proper size or quantity of clothing and equipment required for a particular child. Often children arrive in their new foster home with only the clothes on their backs. This frequently places a financial hardship on the Foster Family to provide for the immediate clothing needs of the children.
Last weekend they had a back-to-school event for foster kids; they provided backpacks, shoes, socks, underwear, and school supplies.
Last weekend they had a back-to-school event for foster kids; they provided backpacks, shoes, socks, underwear, and school supplies.
The Closet received a grant from the Men’s Giving Circle, which helped to buy personal items, socks, underwear, etc. for boys. Personal items, socks, boxers, and briefs is always something always in need of.
There is a donation box in the back of the church at 1125 E Division St. To find the best information is from their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/FosterClosetofMichiganWexfordMissaukee/
Thank you to our Rotary Corporate Members Beth Miller and Ashley Osowski for presenting today!
It was a great day to learn about Membership!
1. Why do people join Rotary:
Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. Serving in Rotary positions is like a college education. Leadership: - learning how to motivate, influence, and lead leaders. Citizenship in the Community: Membership in a Rotary club makes one a better community citizen.
2. Who would make a great Rotary member:
They know that mere sympathy may not be enough and can be empathetic and feel compassion for the difficulties of others. They maintain a positive attitude and portray a good image of Rotary inside and outside the organization.

3. What does it mean to become a Rotarian:
Becoming a Rotary member connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back. Through regular meetings and events, you'll: Discuss your community's needs and develop creative ways to meet them. Connect with other leaders who are changing the world.

4. What makes a good Rotarian:
Influential Rotarians share their passion and pride with others. They tell their personal Rotary story. In so doing, they invite others to meetings and service projects to help grow Rotary, enhance the impact and share the rewards of Service Above Self.
So, if you or someone you know would like to attend a meeting, please feel free; we would love to have you—Tuesdays at noon at Evergreen Resort. Lunch is on us!
Have a great day!

Her husband and she own this second chance rescue for exotic animals who were born in captivity and cannot be released into the wild. These come from Zoos, educational programs, private individuals who shouldn’t have had them.
About 300 cases currently, Meth/Heroin about ⅓ of those, and another ⅓ are property crimes. Meth is the NUMBER ONE issue in the courts currently. Decreased the number of people sent to prison for a number of reasons, due to a change in law, reducing the ability to place people in confinement. Drug cases usually want rehab but there is NOT a lot of this locally, for drug rehab or juvenile delinquency. This is also a huge factor, being those addicts aren’t getting the help they really need and then going right out to the revolving door.
