We are all aware of the tragic event that took the life of
Deane Kenny Stryker,
past member of our Interact Club.
Our thoughts and prayers go out
to her Family and Friends
along with the staff of the Winchester Library
and those individuals affected.
Jack Kean eulogized our recently deceased Rotarian, Tom Raphael last Thursday. The following is Jack's words about Tom.
This link is the eulogy delivered by Jack Kean at Thursday's meeting, remembering Sydelle.
For most in the room today the name Albert "Al" Hovannesian has no significance. If you were told he was a Past President of this club you could research the club site, find the list of past presidents and find the name Hovannesian at number 45 out of 90 and that's about all the information available. I would like to give you a little insight into who Al was besides a name on a list....
Thank you for your support for the 2016 Polar Plunge. We are still accepting donations.
Below is a video from the event:
Jack Kean spoke about Jim Beck at today's luncheon. For those of you unable to attend, here is what Jack had to say in rememberance of Jim Beck.
