PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Jeff Johnston

South Tyler Rotary Club (STR) - how can we answer the following?

• Are we making a difference to the greater Tyler community?
• Are we building goodwill and bettering friendships?
• Are we being faithful stewards of our time, talents, and resources?
• How are we giving back to others?

The biggest way we raise funds to support others is our annual Spaghetti Supper on April 30! Every South Tyler Rotarian can be a part of the 2020 event. HOW WILL YOU SERVE?

Diane Kavanaugh, STR President-Elect and Chair of the 2020 STR 28th Annual Reed Franklin Spaghetti Supper, has developed an awesome team for this year’s event. Diane has established our Mission for 2020 and challenged the NINE 2020 STR Spaghetti Teams to the following:

Your mission, STR Team Captains,

for the South Tyler Rotary Foundation.
Join me in our 
"Mission ImPASTAble"!

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Adam Thomas

Adam grew up in the north of Chicago, but moved to Tyler 22 years ago. He graduated from Robert E. Lee, and UT-Tyler with a
BBA in Finance/Marketing, and then completed his MBA in Management.

Adam has been in banking for 17 years and currently serves as the VP of Operations at Kelly Community Federal Credit Union.
He shares,  "I have been at other institutions that didn’t support the local community and am very excited about the values at my current organization aligning with my personal values allowing me to become a member of Rotary, work at the East Texas Food Bank, Junior Achievement, and other opportunities as time permits."

Adam and his wife have been married for 11 years and have a two-year-old son, Greyson. His favorite family tradition is a Christmastime trip to Chicago every three years where he is able to visit three states in one day and see all of his close and extended family.
