Darryl Jarmosco speaks at Washington Rotary

Thank you Tsalika Drown for inviting and introducing your program speaker, Darryl Jarmosco, a motivational speaker, author and coach from Fairfield.

Tsalika Drown has her thoughts down on paper

Darryl had a great message.

• Take the things out of your head and put them on paper!
• 80% of what we do is unconscious - the power of the mind is what leads to fulfillment.
• Remember, do what makes you happy.

Darryl Jarmosco lays it out for the Club

Thank you Darryl for bringing your message to Rotary today.

Rotary hears about RUSS

We heard a very informative presentation today about a complex and frequently misunderstood organization, RUSS or Rural Utility Service System.

RUSS Director, Bruce Hudson, gave some background on the history of the organization, the planning efforts in Richmond, Rubio and Ollie, and the regulations that are guiding RUSS and Washington County.

Thank you for the presentation, Bruce.

Rotary Dist. Gov. Terry & Peggy Geiger visit Washington

Our program on August 2nd was a special visit from District 6000 District Governor, Terry Geiger and his wife Peggy Geiger. His home club is the Rotary Club of Leon, Iowa.

Rotarian's can follow his FaceBook page chronicling his travels around Southern Iowa at 

Geiger was welcomed by our club President, Terry Engelken, and was entertained and hosted by Past District 6000 Governor, Don Patterson and Becky Patterson.

The Pattersons and the Geigers.

RI President Sakuji Tanaka

Governor Geiger, as a representative of Rotary International, spoke about the initiatives of 2012-13 RI President Sakuji Tanaka.

He also said that he hoped to collect a new pair of shoes for every Rotarian in District 6000 by the District Convention April 11-13, at Honey Creek Resort.

It was a pleasure to hear from the Geigers.

Rotary tours New High School

Washington Rotary had a great meeting this week at the new High School. Rotarian and school superintendent, Dr. Mike Jorgensen was our host and gave a brief tour of the new facility for the program.

The new school looks great and will serve the community for generations. Based on how the basketball shooting demonstrations in the gym went after the tour, the nets in the hoops should last a very long time as well...

Thank you Dr. J for the informative tour.
