At the May 18th Club Meeting dick Glover presented Dean Friesen with the District 5950 Individual Outstanding Club Leadership Award for his contribution to our club as Treasurer and all of the other efforts he makes to the Excelsior Rotary Club.

Dean Friesen has served as Treasurer of our club for many years and has done an exemplary job of keeping all of our funding and financial records in incredible order. Financial accountability is very important to the smooth functioning of our club with its three-year funding cycles and all of the other programs that make our club such a dynamic organization. Dean's knowledge of bookkeeping and financial management allows our club to budget for desired programs while maintaining financial contingencies to meet unexpected expenditures. A great aspect about Dean Friesen's personality is that he is a "can do" Treasurer that helps our club meets its goals through wise fiscal management.

The Rotary Club Of Excelsior thanks Dean for his outstanding service and we are proud that the District has recognized him for his important work in our club and all of his efforts on behalf of Rotary. (Story and picture by Steve Frazier)
