During our annual Christmas Luncheon, President Terri Fortner recognized three of our members for their outstanding commitment to the mission of Rotary: Service Above Self. First awardee was Jeanine Bingham Kelly who works hard as our Treasurer, chair of Healing Field, and donating her time to our many programs. Pat Lucero was recognized with the Quiet Rotarian Award for his willingness to get the job done behind the scenes, especially during our move to a new location. Finally, Charlie Todd was recognized as Rotarian of the Year. Charlie has been a faithful Rotarian and has worked on our Healing Field for Years. This year, in honor of his late wife, Charlie raised funds for Polio eradication efforts through the sale of Bevy Beer at Lauter Haus. 

 

In addition to the recognitions, Rotarians had a great time during our now annual Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament and through supporting local needs like Angel Tree and underwear and blanket donations for citizens in need. See more photos on our Facebook page. 

The Tri-City Record had several articles/features about our annual Healing Field including a photo gallery. Visit the link below to see what's available. 

On Saturday, December 9th, Rotarians including Randy Joslin and Jim Baker (right) volunteered their time ringing the bell for the Salvation Army.

A great benefit to being a Rotarian is visiting Rotary Clubs around the world.  On November 14th, Rotarians Jim and Donna Micelli from Studio City- Sherman Oaks Rotary visited our club.  They are pictured here with San Juan County East Rotary President Jack Fortner.
