REBECCA MADDUX
HARRISBURG ROTARIAN OF THE MONTH
JUNE 2019
Another rotary year has passed,
As always, we have saved the best for last.
In that forest of great men who have served Harrisburg Rotary,
This noble nut obviously did not fall very far from the tree.
For twenty years now,
This super Rotarian has pulled the Service-Above-Self plow.
Her accomplishments make for a pretty long list, and how.
From super Treasurer, to a fearless ADG,
To reliable Club Secretary and member of the District Action Committee.
She’s been the coolest of Club Presidents,
As well as master invigorator of any number of “Because-It’s-For-A-Good-Cause” events.
She makes things happen from beginning to end,
From lunches to bikes to dictionaries to being a really great friend.
For poor Janice, she has been the ever-faithful convention traveling bud.
She’s always first in line to give a pint of mighty MDAnderson blood.
It makes you wonder where we’d be,
If all this hard work had to be done by you or me.
What’s her most notable accomplishment, you may ask?
She inspires us to say Yes to most any task.
By soaring with this eagle, she makes us better,
Because she’s just that kind of Rotary go-getter.
So, our Rotarian of the Month is top of the line, totally deluxe,
Yes, that’s right, it’s our Supergirl Rebecca Maddux.
