PAUL HARRIS FELLOWS
Ray Poe, our clubs Foundation director, helped Cheryl Kurtz award 3 (three) Paul Harris Fellow awards. Congratulations to Terry Engelken, Tsalika Rich, and Bob Wollenberg for your commitment to Rotary.
This is also
Bob Wollenberg's last club meeting in Washington. He and wife Jean are moving to Decatur IL where they will be co-pastors at First Presbyterian Church. Sad to see you leave, Bob, and thanks for your 10 years of service in our club.
LONG TERM COMMITMENT
Rotary anniversaries were noted this week. Remarkably,
Dick Colby is celebrating
55 years, and
Bob Kennedy is celebrating
50 years as a part of
Rotary Club of Washington, Iowa. Pretty amazing. That is about 2,750 club meetings for Dick and 2,500 for Bob.
