Many Past Presidents from our Club and from around the world have confided in me, as I prepared for this year, that I am about to embark upon “the year of a lifetime”. Well if my installation is any indication, I am already sensing this dynamic. It was “the day of a lifetime”!

 

I continue to be amazed and humbled by the generosity of your collective gestures, performances, kind words and tremendous support.

 

Past President Rob Scherer, you out did yourself. Brew master Norm Marshall and David “John Frisch” Letterman, you guys missed your calling!

 

Rotary Rooters, you are the best! Loved the drum rolls during Mr. Letterman’s Top Ten.

 

Our video celebrities, Allison Otto, David Lowe, Kevin Smith-Fagan, Hal Shipley and Mom and Dad, thanks for the recognition and accolades.

 

The Rockettes performance by my Boards of Trustee’s and Directors should instill great confidence in the Club that you are in good hands!

 

The generous financial contributions of Leslie Botos, Dave Cohen, Ted White, John Shelby, Jeff Curcio, Leesa Fons, Doug Crumley, Hal Bartholomew, Dave McKie, Kelley Moran, Joe Wojciechowski, Susan Sheridan, Scot Sorenson, Judy Payne, Bob Dean, the Rotary Rooters, Ken Noack, Sr., Bob Kelly, Steve Flemming, Steve Ruland, new member Ashley Fehrmann’s father, John Fehrmann, Chris Johnson and Katrina Salazar will be put to good work and will be prudently managed ($6,750 on the day!) . Thank you! (I guess my “Couch Potato” strategy implodes upon its unveiling)

 

And a special thanks to everyone behind the scenes who made the day so very meaningful to me.

I was very touched and truly overwhelmed.

 

Although my goals are ambitious, they are achievable both short term and long term with a Club of our caliber.   

 

I am so proud and honored to serve you. Let’s have a blast!

 

STRIVE FOR THOSE SUMMITS!

 

Ken Noack, Jr.
