Rotarían Ron Finke addresses the Club
Longtime member, Ron Finke, has practiced “service above self” more than 15 years aside from his Rotary service.  Through his church, he comes to the aid of so many people who have homes, land, and their towns destroyed by various disasters. He gets the call and drops everything to help others in need. Ron spoke about his trips at Tuesday’s meeting and came dressed in his service garb so he could head out again after the meeting  Come join us next Tuesday at the ISD Central Office at noon for another inspiring speaker.
