4/24/14 - The Howell Rotary Club will be celebrating 90 years of continuous involvement and solid tradition in the community with an event early next month. The Howell Rotary Club was chartered on May 5th of 1924 with 17 members. The Superintendent of Howell Public Schools at the time, John S. Page, led the effort to form a club in Howell. Ironically ninety years later, the Howell Rotary Club is led by Ron Wilson, the current Howell Superintendent. For years, the club and its members have actively supported local non-profits and events from holiday bell ringing to bowling for kidsâ sake, along with various other charitable efforts. Youth leadership is a priority and every year, the club presents a scholarship to a deserving Howell High School senior. Keeping a long-time Howell tradition alive, the club also now produces and sells the original recipe melon ice cream on the courthouse lawn during the Howell Melon Festival to help support local youth initiatives. Community partners and guests are invited to attend the Howell Rotary Clubâs luncheon meeting and 90-year celebration on Monday, May 5th. The cost is $10 per person. Further details about the history of the Howell Rotary Club and the upcoming celebration can be found at in the attachment below.
