Here's What's Happening at East Polk Rotary

 

At our last Wednesday meeting of the Rotary fiscal year, we were honored to have as our guest speaker Chuck Long, legendary Iowa Hawkeye football quarterback from the 1980s, and runner-up one year to eventual Heisman Trophy winner Bo Jackson.  These days Chuck is Executive Director of the Iowa Games and spoke briefly about his role guiding that organization which includes the Senior Games and other offshoots.  Chuck spoke mostly about his experience as the Hawkeye football quarterback, his time playing in the NFL, and the time he worked as a college coach.  He peppered his talk with self-deprecating humor and wit and had many admirers among our tight knit group.  Among his family he mentioned he'd been married 28 years and has five children.

 

Tomorrow we witness a changing of the guard as Corinne Lambert assumes the role of President of East Polk Rotary and Paul Cornelius takes over as club secretary.  We didn't get an email from Larry O'Connor for our food pantry item, but peanut butter and canned tuna always work well.  Cash collections are always an option as well.  Have a great Tuesday and we'll see everyone in the AM!
