- Greg Ciesluk – wanted to share an important story of his involving baseball. Some years ago, he and David Connelly were attending a Lakers baseball game. Greg was telling David how much a classification speech he heard at Rotary had really impressed him. He told David he wished he could know how to contact that Rotarian to say what a good job they did on their speech. David told Greg about the ClubRunner app and how he could contact the person. The person was Rebekah Freed. Greg ended up contacting her and the rest is history. They were married not too long after!
