New year, new members! Chesterton-Porter Rotary welcomed two new members this week. Stan Lease and Tom Deuson come to the club with thirty-two years of combined “service above self.” Stan has served as a member of several clubs, most recently the Portage Rotary, while Tom has relocated from the Watertown, New York Rotary Club. “We’re so glad to have them both!” says President Bonnie Hawksworth (pictured here with Lease and Deuson).
