Rotarians,
 
Spring has sprung and I hope this time of year brings you renewed and positive energy!
 
Thank you to the club members who completed the survey regarding our monthly programs. The results have been tabulated and will be very helpful in scheduling speakers for our weekly meetings going forward. The results have also been shared with Sean Connolly, incoming President and Cella Quinn, incoming program chair for 22-23. Below are the results of that survey.

Lloyd Meyer is Paul Harris  Fellow
Recently, The Rotary Foundation Dist. Chair Bill Harvey recognized Lloyd Meyer as Paul Harris Fellow. Lloyd has been a dedicated Rotarian for 26 years and served as committee chair in several committees in the past. A true son of Nebraska, Lloyd Meyer was born in Beatrice, Nebraska.  His father was from Fairbury and his mother was from Council Bluffs.  Because his father was a manager of a department store and was transferred a number of times, he has lived in Crete, Ord, and York where he graduated from high school.  Having worked from age seven with his grandfather, a carpenter, and his uncle, an architect, he knew he wanted to be an architect in the eighth grade.  It became his passion and career.
