November is Rotary Foundation Month
By Paula T. OlsonEdited By Horn, Gregory S.Monday, November 10, 2025
As is our tradition around the Veterans Day holiday, a PowerPoint presentation ran showing all of our Lakewood Rotarians who have served our country, with their pictures then and now and service info. I gotta say, all of them were quite good looking back in the day, and amazingly, still are!
President Tom opened the meeting on time as he always does. He called on Scott Buser for the invocation and Mary Marlin did a heck of a job leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Rob Erb stood and pointed to the PowerPoint and announced that our tax dollars were at work. He exhorted us to thank all veterans for their service. Rob also asked any new members, or old members, who were vets to get their info to him so he can include them in the next PowerPoint.
Prez Tom told us that the theme for November was The Rotary Foundation, which is the heart of Rotary. Its mission is to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. Tom left ½ of his program at home. He brought his wife Neeni though, so he brought the most important part.
