Vicki Arndt introduced her longtime friend Christy Wilson and said she was proud to sponsor her into the club.

 

President Pat then performed the induction ceremony, formally welcoming her into the club. He gave her a Rotary Pin saying "wear your pin with pride".

 

Christy said she was honored to become a member because she always admired all of the things her friend Vicki was involved in over the years.  She said the first day she came to a meeting a couple guys were talking outside the venue and said "should we help her find her way?"....then said "Nah, she'll figure it out".  She knew at that point she liked it here. And she is looking forward to being involved and giving back.
