Presentation
Club Awards and
Will's Final Meeting as Club President!
Outgoing President Will reflected on his 34-year tenure in Rotary, highlighting the global progress in eradicating Polio (down to 10 cases globally this year). He emphasized the importance of engaging "young'ns" and newer members to ensure the club remains relevant in 2027 rather than operating like a club from 1977.
Paul Harris Award to
Jonathan Jackson!
In recognition of his over 20 years of service, specifically citing his roles as club treasurer, beverage co-chair for Ribfest, and his work securing major sponsorships.
The Cadillac Award Goes To
Ute Lindner!
For her consistent "above and beyond" contributions, including her past presidency and her willingness to manage complex logistics like the FIFA day volunteer coordination.
We wanted to thank Will for leading our Club this year, but he did not want any memento, so we awarded him with a donation of doses of Polio Vaccine. Thanks for a great year, Will!
