Thank you- Kenneth and Sarah!
On Wednesday Rotarians were treated to classification speeches from two of our newest members. Kenneth Johnson and Sarah Rojas.
Kenneth Johnson shared with us details of his life, he is married to Savile, he enjoys wood working, the Three Stooges, a little PS4, WWE, and MMA. His passion - it is clear - is teaching. His teaching accomplishments are on a grand scale, to name a few, He received the Distinguished Teaching Award from the University of Minnesota, recognized by Faculty and Students, and worked as the Director of International Education Consulting Group in Seoul, Korea.
His time on various boards and volunteer organizations is impressive as well. He currently serves on the Owatonna Board of Education Development and has been a Rotarian in other communities. He is a Paul Harris recipient, and has organized Rotaract. He currently works for Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, assisting people with employment and education to become employed.
Listening to Kenneth talk, you can see his life has revolved around teaching and helping others. We look forward to your membership Kenneth!
Sarah Rojas is the Community Outreach Manager for Milestone Senior Living. She tells us essentially, she has a position in sales and Marketing, but she likes to get to know and educate people. Sarah was born in Iowa and has her Bachelor’s Degree in Family Social Science.
She joined Rotary to create connections in the community and to help give back to the Faribault community.
She and her husband Jose have 6 children between them ages 6 to 11, she jokes they often get compared to the "Brady Bunch" - she follows up with "but we don't have an Alice!" Sarah and Jose will be closing on a new home soon and are excited to make it their own.
Sarah's "free" time is family time, doing what the kids like to do, and keep them busy. We welcome you Sarah and are excited to have you!
