Author's Corner
This week (or at last Friday's meeting) you may have learned about the passing of another Rotarian - Jim Bos.  Shannon sent an email out with info on services - 12/8/22 at 11AM at Calvin Christian Reformed Church, 973 W Norton, Muskegon, MI.  Reception at 10:00.  I wasn't in Rotary long enough to really get to know Jim, but I know many of you were.  If you have a chance, share a story of Jim this Friday while we're eating.  Share a story of any past Rotary member.  It's a way to keep remembering those we have served with!
 
Other than that - one big reminder - This week's meeting is offsite, at the Tri-Cities Historical Museum.  If you are going and have not let Brad know, you need to do so ASAP or you may be visiting with no meal!

Last Week's Speaker 
Friday, December 2, our program was all about Spring Lake's Boy Scout Troop 14, which is sponsored by our Rotary Club.  Troop Leader Travis Babcock started off his program by introducing two young Scouts, who gave a demonstration of Presenting the Colors -- How Scout Troop meetings begin with a presentation of the American Flag and the Scout Troop flag.
 
Troop Leader Babcock then explained the Scout Law, which is "A Scout is ...
1. Trustworthy  2. Loyal  3. Helpful  4. Friendly  5. Courteous  6. Kind  7. Obedient 8. Cheerful  9. Thrifty  10. Clean  11. Brave, and,  12. Reverent.
 
He also showed a video of some of the scouts camping and some of the scout camps right nearby here in Michigan, as well as other camps and camping adventures, such as the Philmont National Scout Ranch in New Mexico.  One of my son Steve's scouting highlights on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout -- Boy Scouting's highest rank -- was when members of his Troop from Grandville, MI, spent several weeks one summer at Philmont.
 
Spring Lake Rotary Club members can be proud to sponsor Scout Troop 14 as one of our community outreach activities.
