Wow, our meeting today was so jam packed that it's hard to even remember all of the highlights! Let's start with our special guests The City of Portage MI Council Member Jihan Young 's kids, Portage Public Schools incoming 6th grader L3 and incoming 2nd grader Amaya (accompanied by Polio Eradication pets Cupper and Briscoe). Ironically we also welcomed another Briscoe, new member transferring from Rotary Club of Kalamazoo, past Rotary District 6360 Michigan USA District Governor Rick Briscoe.
Then it was time for special recognitions: Steve Montanye received Paul Harris Fellow plus 2 and Bob Borsos was welcomed into the Polio Plus Society.
Our program was the Kalamazoo Growlers ! Wow, the Growlers are way more than just baseball, they are a community experience! (Which YOU can experience tomorrow night to benefit the Rota-Kiwan Picnic Pavillion).
You won't want to miss next week when we pass the gavel from current President Jose E. Santamaria to incoming President Elect Ginny Dell.
