William Bruck’s recent installation as President of the Monroe Rotary Club marks the start of the 94th presidential term, although he is only the 90th President. As I have noted in the past, three Rotarians served more than one term. Our very first President, Archie Stitt, served three consecutive terms from 1924 to 1927. Our fourth President, George Hoffman, served two consecutive terms from 1930 to 1932. Most recently Don Lieto served two terms, although not consecutively, the Rotary years of 1988-89 and 2010-11.
There have been two husband and wife combinations that served as President, and with William’s induction it becomes the first time in our club’s history that a sister (Donna Hwang) and brother have both served as President, although they are not the first set of siblings to so serve as brothers Greg Williams and Pat Williams both served terms.
To the best of my knowledge there are 39 living past Presidents of our club. The oldest in terms of year of service is Don Lloyd (1967-68) and the second, and still a member of our club is Larry Slagenwhite (1971-72).
I believe that 17 of the past Presidents are still members of our club.
