Rotary Club of Flushing leads project to provide new seating for Riverview Park
The Rotary Club of Flushing is engaged in a significant community project to provide new stadium seating to replace the bench seats at the Riverview Park amphitheater in downtown Flushing. The Rotary Club's annual Duckie Race has raised over $100,000 toward this project. Additional funding is being sought from other organizations and citizens in Flushing to complete this project in partnership with the Rotary Club, the City of Flushing, and the Flushing Chamber of Commerce.
The Riverview Park amphitheater is used regularly for Movies in the Park, Concerts in the Park, and many other programs and events in Flushing that benefit the entire community. This wonderful resource is in need of improvement, and the Rotary Club of Flushing is pleased to facilitate this project in collaboration with the City of Flushing and other local organizations. If you or your organization are interested in partnering with the Rotary Club of Flushing on this project, please contact us at FlushingRotaryClub@gmail.com If you would like to make a donation to this project, please contact the Community Foundation of Greater Flint at 810-767-8270. Checks can be made payable to: "Community Foundation of Greater Flint- Flushing Riverview Park Project" and mailed to: Community Foundation of Greater Flint, 500 S. Saginaw St., Flint, MI 48502.

We are pleased that you are visiting the Rotary Club of Flushing Website. The Rotary Club of Flushing is a member of Rotary International, the world's first service club. Feel free to browse our website and see the range of activities that our Rotary Club in Flushing, Michigan, is engaged in to provide both international and local community service. Among the initiatives that you will find: An Annual Scholarship awarded to two local high school graduates going on to college who exhibited extensive community service and volunteerism during their high school years; a plan to revitalize the Flushing Riverview Park, a wonderful community resource in need of care; an annual Food Drive to support the Flushing Christian Outreach Center and the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan; and literacy initiatives in the Flushing Schools. We conduct fundraisers such as our annual Duckie Race to support these initiatives and also Rotary International's global initiative to eradicate Polio, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control, United Nations, World Health Organization, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Since 1985 Rotary has raised nearly a billion dollars and immunized over 2 billion children across the globe to reduce cases of Polio by 99%. Only a few hundred cases remain in the world, and it is Rotary's hope to eradicate this disease in the next few years. The Rotary Club of Flushing invites you to experience Rotary yourself. We extend an invitation for you to visit our Rotary Club at Sorrento's Restaurant in Flushing on Thursday mornings at 7:00AM.
