Here's What's Happening at East Polk Rotary

Hello Rotarians!

Before we got started with our speaker last week, we got a report on the Iowa Tech Expo which was held the previous Friday at Southeast Polk High School.  This annual event supported by our club was another success.  Skillfully guided by Phil Cronin, the event led to $2,500 awarded in college scholarships to deserving students.  We look forward to next year's Tech Expo.

Then our own Trent Frohock took the stage as both the Rotarian of the Day and the morning's program.  The story behind the scenes is that Steve Hall, upon learning that an outside speaker was not available, encouraged Trent to tell his own story since he was "an interesting guy."  He did not disappoint.  Trent told a string of personal stories tied to his work, family and his experience as a pilot.  Everyone was amused.  Boredom was never a concern as Trent entertained the club members quite vividly for 7:30 AM.  Next we'll be looking for a PowerPoint to illustrate some of his points.

In other news, Ryan Edsen is not able to serve as tomorrow's Sargent of Arms so we are looking for a last minute substitute.  If you would like to step in for Ryan, please bring your trivia tomorrow morning.  Also, there will be no music tomorrow or May 28th as Marti will not be in attendance.  Mike Hamilton may have to sing solo, or perhaps we all sing acapela.  Tomorrow's Rotarian of the Day is Norma Bettis and her speaker will be Sherrie Colbert from the Gold Star Museum at Camp Dodge.

Stay safe out there and we'll see you in the AM!
