Save the date! Our Foundation Committee is hosting a fundraiser for the Rotary International Foundation on Friday, May 29th, at the Rochester Community House. It is dubbed"Hog Wild on the Keys" and the Pig Roast will feature a whole pig on the spit, and entertainment will be provided by Brian Griffin's Dueling Pianos. The Rotary Club of Ann Arbor has awarded Linda Eastman, of Rochester Hills, the Robert S. Northrup Humanitarian Award for her extraordinary commitment to global service. Established in 2018, the award recognizes individuals who have made long-term, sustainable contributions to humanitarian efforts at local, national, or international levels.
"Linda Eastman exemplifies the Rotary spirit of ‘Service Above Self,’” said Christine Hage, President of the Rochester Rotary Club. "Her passion, perseverance, and generosity have transformed countless lives. She is a remarkable example of what one person’s dedication can accomplish."
A Life Dedicated to Service
Eastman’s humanitarian journey began unexpectedly 44 years ago during a vacation to Mexico. Frustrated by language barriers, she returned home determined to bridge the communication gap. While raising four children as a non-traditional student at Oakland University, she pursued a degree in Latin American Studies and Spanish, graduating summa cum laude, an honor achieved by only two students that year. She later earned a Nonprofit Management Certificate, further preparing herself for leadership in humanitarian work.

The Rotary Gateway Park is a hidden gem in downtown Rochester. Built by the Rochester Rotary Club in 1997, the park features beautiful flower beds, a cascading water feature, and benches to sit and enjoy a few quiet moments. The Rochester Rotary Club continues to upgrade and enhance the park through the volunteer efforts of club members and funding from the purchase of memorial bricks.
