Rotarians,
As we approach the 20 year anniversary of 9/11, I am sure many of you can remember where you were at that moment when the first plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center. I certainly can. The horrific images of that day are ones many of us will never forget and honestly should never forget.
During our latest club meeting, Retired Major General Roger Lempke graced us with his presence and shared his 9/11 reflections. He took us back to that fateful day in history with video clips and his narrative which sent chills down my spine and at times hard for me to watch and reflect. The many lives lost, the media coverage, the heroic arts, and life after the attack are just a few of the items he touched upon. I will be forever grateful to the first responders, the military, healthcare workers, and all others who took action during and after the attack and lived out the Rotary Motto of Service above self.
Another item touched upon at our meeting was information regarding how your Rotary dues and other donations are used. Our Treasurer, Jim Stewart gave a great presentation and the information he shared can be found by clicking on the link below. Many of our members appreciated Jim taking the time to share the information.
Again, special thanks to Dan Esch and all of the Rotarians who assisted with putting up the flags in Memorial Park. We received news coverage on all four of the local news stations and our continued involvement in this project is something in which we can all be very proud.
See you next Wednesday!
Aileen Warren
