JAN 4th:Susan Gould GTKY Talk
Mike and Susan put together an awesome presentation of Susan's life. Susan has loved to travel from an early age and is community minded leading her to Rotary.
Phil Clarke showed the two videos available on our website. A 2-minute video advertisement, "What is Rotary" and a historic video acknowledging our charter members. Our Club began in 1985 and 7 legacy members remain in the Club: Gary Dani, Debby Doig, Marion Trummer, Mary Kay Hasz, Mark Eberly, Jim Kelley, and Neil DiLorenzo. The video was excellent thanks to Phil's production and Bill Simmermon's idea.
