Rotary International President: Richard King, Los Angeles, California
District 6040 Governor: Larry Lunsford, Kansas City Country Club Plaza Club
During the year, the Club mourned the death of its past president Eddie Hirsch in November 2001, after nearly forty years' service. Eddie was president of Club 32 during the 1970-71 year, and his significant contributions included the initiation of the annual program with the children from the Orthopedic Class of what has since become Pickett School. Eddie chaired and acted as host for this event for thirty-one years. In Eddie's memory, the Club donated $1,000 to the class for a memorial gift.
On August 24, 2001, the Club hosted the District 6040's first "Shoes for Orphan Souls" project. Club #32 Rotarians collected more than 800 pairs of shoes which, together with shoes gathered by other clubs in the district, were ultimately shipped to orphanages in Eastern Europe.
Special Club projects during the year included Salvation Army Bell Ringing, Student Government Day, Career Nursing Awards Day, and the Pickett school program. Salvation Army Major Mark Martsolf, and Sally "Pansy the Clown" Coffman interned the Club and the Pickett School children.
Ten Club #32 members attended the District Conference in Kansas City. Staci Thornton and members of the Interact Club presented one of the special programs.
The Club celebrated its 90th anniversary at a Hawaiian theme party at the downtown Holiday Inn in November. Past President and District Governor Jerry Russell presented an interesting history of Club #32 and Rotary International.
Effective June 30, 2002, Pat Lile retired after 15 years' service as executive secretary of Club 32, and she was honored at a special "Pat Lile Day" program. Throughout her tenure Pat was an integral part of the Club and her devotion to Rotary has been sincerely appreciated.
