Andy Rebuck, Sergeant-At-Arms
Celebrating his 30th anniversary of membership in the Rotary Club of Harrisburg, Andy is all smiles about our Club's wonderful efforts and successes over the many years. His roll up your sleeves and take action mantra earned him the 2002 Rotary Excellence Award, the 2007 Community Service Award and fueled his fire to serve as Club President 2018-19. You will find Andy leading our efforts to fundraise as well as "fun-raise" via great events like our annual Pancake Breakfast.
Andy's role as VP/GM for Lamar Advertising, the local billboard company, provides him a great opportunity to deploy billboards to not only help our Rotary Club but so many other non-profit organizations with civic and charitable messages. When you join our Club one of the first initiatives is to celebrate that moment with a complimentary billboard featuring your photo and the good news.
When he is not active with billboards and Rotary, Andy and his wife Gail (she is also a member of our Club) enjoy bike riding our area rails to trails, playing golf and spending time with their three grandchildren.
