Congratulations and thank you to the Rotarians who were recognized by Rotary Foundation Committee Chair Roxy Orr last week for their generosity to the Rotary Foundation.  The Rotary Foundation is the charity of Rotary.   Through Rotary grants, people around the world are served with educational opportunities, health services, clean water, vaccinations, and nutrition.   Ed Fleming was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow+1 for his donations of $2000. Alan Stanek was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow+5 for his donations of $6000. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last week Gitzy Loder and Michelle Schrage were our Greeters. Andy Goranson gave our invocation. We had several announcements and a new member introduction.   Membership Chair Rich Rowland kicked off our Great Suburban Duck Race contest in honor of our 50th anniversary year.   

 

Check out your badge when you are at Rotary- each team is divided into ducklings of one color. The head ducks of each team are:

Pink-Rose Mary Hefley

Green- Gary Stoneburg

Red - Holly Hollenbeck

Blue- Bob Perrin

Yellow- John Hoich

Black- Marlene Sullivan

Purple- Ashley Baker

 

Each team of "ducks" will race to bring in new members this year with an eye on improving our diversity and percentage of female members. We are also targeting new retirees and younger members.  Help grow Suburban Rotary and help your team to win bragging rights!

 

 

 

To sign up to help at this event (assist medical students, hand out water/snacks, check in, etc. ) go to the website suburbanrotary.org and click on the calendar and on the date of the event and log in to sign up.  The great project is being paid for by a District Grant and funds from our local Suburban Rotary Foundation.
