Program
Honoring our Charter Members.
Kathy continued our program with the introduction of two of our charter members and former presidents of our Club: Paul Brown and Bob Teska.
Bob came to our gathering straight from his cardiac rehab program. Paul spoke about the pride he has in his daughter, Kristin Brown, who has also been President of our Club.
Paul and Bob shared highlights of their experiences, and what the importance is of the Club. Each one told us how special Rotary had been for them, and what they wanted to see in the future. We gave them a rousing standing ovation for their years of commitment and efforts.
