(New) District Governor Richard C. (Rick) Bricker (rotaryrick1953@yahoo.com) has travelled with wife Susan from his Brainerd MN Club to introduce his visionary year and invigorate our club commencing his new District 5580 year.
His address confirmed a most interesting and eclectic personal background including his Dry Cleaning businesses, his appreciation for the huge challenges of child/youth abuse in all its forms and his joy at joining the Rotary family in 1986.
A most entertaining and high energy spokesperson for Rotary, we learned about his passion for helping child abuse/human trafficking victims through a special resource centre development shipping bicycles to Haiti, and many other initiatives including innovations for the upcoming District Conference 2020 with a Roaring Twenties theme in Brainerd, MN, USA, April 23-26.
Welcome to our neck of the woods, Rick and Susan, and thanks for supporting our Board and general membership with your leadership as DG.

Another important event today was the welcome and introduction of our new PA Rotary inbound exchange student Arpad Zolyomi, hailing from Targu Mures, Rumania. Arpad will be in Grade 11 at St. Ignatius. He is pictured with Rotary banner exchanges from his home district and club along with PA Rotary Exchange Chair Mat Diegel along with very proud President Rod Morrison.
Arpad is already diving into activities with gusto here. Great to have you here Arpad.
