Ed Lins humbly accepts the Club's appreciation.


Good Bye Dennis


Rotarian and Walmart manager, Dennis Purcell said good-bye to the club as he is transferring back to run a Walmart in the Illinois side of the Quad Cities.

Several Rotarians complemented Dennis for his involvement in Rotary and the community, and for how well he managed the Washington Walmart.

Best wishes, Dennis!

Larry Fishback. At Rotary.

City of Awesomeness

Rotarian and Washington City Administrator, Brent Hinson, gave a fascinating talk about the minutia of the City's improving financial condition. 

The City's general fund, and utility sewer and water funds are financially healthier than just a few years ago, even with all the projects going on around town. Great work, Brent.
