As of May 1, 2020, Ronnie Yeager has been a Member of the Rotary Club of Aransas Pass. These 50 years of attendance is paled in the fact that he has Perfect Attendance for the entirety of those 50 years. This means that he has attended a Rotary Club Meeting weekly for 50 years, an amazing accomplishment. On weeks where he was unable to attend the meeting in Aransas Pass, he was able to “make-up” at another Club. One of our Members asked Ronnie what was the farthest he had traveled to make up and he replied “about 8,000 miles” as he had “made-up” a meeting while on a cruise between New Zealand and Australia.
 
In Honor and Recognition of Ronnie’s Fifty Years of “Service Above Self”, he was recognized with a Letter from the 2020-2021 Rotary International President, Holger Knaack. The letter, in part, says:
 
“Dear Ronald, Congratulations on your 50 years of Rotary service. Your continued passion for Rotary inspires us all. We all love Rotary because we love people, and Rotary gives us an opportunity to connect in a community of shared values, built on a foundation of friendship, and committed to Service Above Self.”
 
In addition to the President’s Letter, Ronnie received a gift from our Club with a plaque on top that states:
