President Paul Urtz opened the meeting with three (3) rings of the bell to honor Triple Crown Winner American Pharoah, the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years.
PP Joe Hughes gave the invocation during which he honored both his father and his golf mentor, Arnold Palmer.
In lieu of a speaker Monday, Smoky Hill Rotary received an update on the 5th Annual SHRC Golf Tournament fundraiser from PP Joe Hughes and the Golf Committee. The tournament will be held on August 7, 2015 at Common Grounds Golf Course in Aurora.
It was 5 years ago that then President Al Horton asked for ideas for a new type of fundraiser for the club and the SHR Foundation. Joe and PP Gary Frisch proposed a golf tournament and the idea was accepted. In the last four years, SHRC has raised more than $80,000 to support the activities of both. It is now one of the most successful Rotary Golf events in the area.
