Sue and Fred staffed our booth promoting the Ambassador of Goodwill Award in Montreal.  They created a display and digital material to describe the award and promote Rotary-wide acceptance.  Thanks to Sue, Fred, Jim Reece and award founder, Phil Alexander, for all your work in developing this special award.

July 14th's induction of new members included Bob Donnellan, Karen Gladney, Tom Millard, Bruce Stone, Deb Vandenbroek, and Kathy Wood.  Welcome, new Rotarians...and many thanks to their proud sponsors and mentors. Also, welcome back, Bob Livingston!

President Beth Fitzsimmons began her Inaugural Address on June 30 by announcing the new Rotary theme for 2010-11, “Building Communities and Bridging Continents.” Her own goal is “to create a Rotary experience that integrates fellowship and service, engages the surrounding community and the world, and fosters lifelong pride in Rotary.”

We salute Ann Schriber, our newest Distinguished Service Award honoree. Here Carolyn Shear (left), who presented the Award, smiles as Ann expresses surprise and gratitude. (June 23, 2010)
