Profile in Contribution!

It definitely takes a village to keep a Rotary Club going. Past President Kent Wood is one of our club members who goes above and beyond to help. New members may not know and us "oldies" may sometimes take for granted how much effort goes into our events and traditions.

Our annual picnic was a great success this year, and Kent is the primary contributor to this success--securing the beautiful location, getting the grill (no mean feat), transporting the grill, organizing and preparing food, and more. And at a bargain basement cost!

AND, Kent is our main instigator of our wine bus trips. More about that later--and don't forget to sign up!

Thank you, Kent
