Outgoing President, Paul Pieschel, gave us a recap of the great year we had in Rotary in which membership increased a net of 4% with 10 different Rotarians sponsoring new members. Also of note is our total giving which includes charitable giving (14
charities), Scholarship Fund, Rotabucks, and many other totally $107,487. Paul also celebrated Rotarian Virginia Ellis
who is a polio survivor and gave a moving story of her struggle growing up with polio. That makes what Rotary is doing
internationally to eradicate the devastating disease even more meaningful. Paul received a standing
ovation for his outstanding job as President.
