And just like that, it was June 27th and Carl Bronkema’s final meeting as President of Lakewood Rotary. It was a normal last Friday of the month with Rose Stevens collecting Little Free Pantry donations in the parking lot on the way into the meeting. Bud Montgomery collected Paul Harris Foundation donations and Chuck Hellar sold raffle tickets.
President Bronkema asked Barlow to share a thought for the day. Barlow reminded us that we are capable of extraordinary things and are working together to make a difference. Bill Wiggins led us in the flag salute. The amazing set-up team of Tom George, Terry Roarke, Rick Selden, Rob Erb and James Osundwa had everything in order for the meeting. Other Rotary working members included photographer Bob Zawilski and Gayle Selden on the bulletin.
Donn Irwin brough Dr. Mike Jones as his guest. Mike is a past Tacoma 8 president and the former boss of our speaker. Kamarie Wilson made her friends since 14 visit her Rotary Club on the way to see the Bare Naked Ladies. David Swindale introduced wife Mary who was also our speaker.
