Howell Rotary Club recently celebrated their rich history in Livingston County at a 100th Anniversary Celebration held at Chemung Hills Country Club. The evening’s program shared many successes of the Club, including starting the Brighton Rotary Club, and many years of success with the Tour de Livingston bicycling event which raised over $460,000 for local basic need programs. They are also known for their Howell Melon Ice Cream sales at Howell Melon Festival that supports local youth initiatives, scholarships and the Howell Interact Club.

Howell Rotarians are well known throughout community as leaders. Many Rotarians have held public office, and/or have been an elected official. The group is also recognized for their volunteer involvement. “As we gather to commemorate a century of the Howell Rotary Club, I am filled with an immense gratitude and humility. Our journey to this milestone has been
marked by countless acts of kindness, generosity, and a commitment to making a positive impact,” shared Howell Rotary Club President Liz Welch. “Each Howell Rotarian is a part of a legacy of amazing people who embody the true spirit of service and community. Here’s to another century of service, fellowship, and making a difference!”

As a culmination of their 100 Year Celebration, proceeds from the event were donated to a local nonprofit selected by the Rotary Club membership. Livingston County United Way (LCUW) was the recipient organization of Howell Rotary Club’s generosity as they received a check for $13,500 from the Rotary Club. The funds received will support local LCUW-funded youth
initiatives, focusing on shelter, safety, coordinated activities, and more. Howell Rotary Club meets every Monday at noon, at the Board of Education Room in the Howell Freshman Campus. For more information about the Howell Rotary Club, contact howellrotary2987@gmail.com.
