Secretary Nick Rosenberry Report

This past Friday, we had several visiting Rotarians including Phil Schrier and Tom Corrall from Omaha NW.  And Mark Taylor from Suburban. We also had one guest.  Bonnie Gill brought Deidre Milobar.   

For good news, Starla Waite’s granddaughter turned one.  Gretchen Radler’s youngest daughter was in town visiting.  Mark Ellsworth was a recent volunteer for the flood relief telethon.  They raised over $100,000!  Bob Lovgren’s grandson became a member of the Vail ski team…and he is only 10 years old.  And finally, Bonnie Gill’s grandson graduated at the top of his class and got a 34 on his ACT. 

Nick ended with a joke and wished everyone a good week. 

Congratulations! 
to Dwayne Brown who completed the Rotary Leadership Institute course this weekend!
