The holiday season is in the air and we had a fabulous hybrid meeting.
DAN KALM, with State Farm Insurance led us in the pledge and song. Joined virtually by GARY HIRSCH on piano. An inspirational video showed the ghosts and ghouls can make a big impact with simple gestures. A child’s unassuming statement, “I wanted to give back” is something to keep top of mind always.
Welcome to Abby Nagbe, Sandra Solial and Whitney Lennan, who joined us for lunch and may join our club in the future. Welcome to Tiana Ronstadt and a shout out to all Rotarians and viewers participating virtually.
JEFF RONSTADT, Ronstadt Insurance, introduced our presenter, Jim Turner, a Tucson Historian, who shared fascinating stories in tidbits of the history of Southern Arizona. “Never trust a man who only knows how to spell a word one way.” Massacres, apaches, stagecoach robbers and cowboys.A very Happy Birthday to BRUCE TUNZE, whose birthday 🎂 🍰 was November 24th.
SCOTT VAUGHAN did the Paul Harris presentation that wasn’t. Both recipients were unfortunately unable to attend at the last minute. Announcements included the holiday mixer on December 16th to be held on the roof top at Westward Look. Please register on the club website. ELLIE PATTERSON presented the presidential citation to BOB LOGAN. CINDY BARBEE spoke about the Salvation Army and the award our club received for last year’s bell ringing. She also spoke about the upcoming bell ringing schedule and online campaign. BOB SHAFF shared a member spotlight on Honorary Member, DORINNA YORK, our very own multi-millionaire, rich in love of family John, Matt and Ashley.
Watch next week for the presentation by Elliot Glicksman, Tucson Jazz Festival. This will be held outside in the courtyard at Hacienda del Sol. Thank you to all who participated in person and by viewing online.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
