Team Turkey History

Around 2011, Troy Rotary members, Mark Bucchiand Bob Waldron, began this program to reach into the Troy area for families who were deserving of a Thanksgiving turkey dinner. In the following 5 years, the program grew to about 20-25 families. In 2016, in addition to Troy Rotary’s usual sources for families, they reached out to some Oakland County agencies and raised the total number of to 30 families. The goal for years has been to grow this service opportunity, and in 2018Troy, Birmingham, Sterling Heights and West Bloomfield Rotary Clubs teamed up to increase the amount of families we could serve! Last year, more than 239 families received aThanksgiving meal! We would not have been able to do this without supporting agencies and our most supportive partner, Kroger.

Water as an instrument for peace

Posted on Oct 15, 2019

The Central Asian region has been the focus of global water catastrophes for almost two decades now. No one is indifferent to the problems that we share as a region. There are multiple layers to the problem that have transformed political discourse within the countries and have affected relationships between water experts.

All of this personally was ambiguous to me until I started working for the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea. In my commission, we deal mostly with environmental issues and have some exposure to water-related events. This is what sparked my interest in the topic. I soon developed an understanding that technical solutions alone were not going to bring about desired results without balanced diplomacy.
