BETTER SEE VISIONS OR YOU MAY RUN INTO THESE TOUGHS!
Advice: Don’t meet these Rotarians in a dark alley. On the left is Pierce “Buff-Tough” Murphy. In the middle is Hal “Rude-Dude” Rumsey, and on the right? That’s Charles “Fluffy Fisted” Weymouth. They are part of the District 5400 Visionary team who met with Kathleen Simko, DGN, other Visionaries, Assistant Governors and me on Saturday, July 17 in Twin Falls to prepare for the new visioning year.
Who are Visionaries? They are Rotarians energized about helping Rotary clubs discover, organize and implement the passions of their members to serve humanity in their communities and internationally and to fulfill our motto, “Service Above Self.” Interested in Visioning for your club or serving as a District 5400 Visionary? Contact DG Gilbert at 695-9262 or write to him at glennsson@msn.com.
Perhaps by pure chance, I was able to catch the Visionaries actually seeing a Vision outside the motel where we met. Here is the amazing photo. (Front row: Scott Record (Twin Falls), Marti Monk (Boise Sunrise), Pierce Murphy (Boise). Second row: Hal Rumsey (Meridian), Charles Weymouth (Boise Metro), Mary Reiman (Boise Metro), Joel Phillips (Pocatello-Portneuf), A.J. Balukoff (Boise Sunrise) and Jeff Hatch (Boise East).
THE DISTRICT ASSISTANT GOVERNORS WILL WORK WITH VISIONARIES THIS YEAR.
Eight of District 5400’s superb assistant governors joined the Visionaries on Saturday. In the picture below, I caught the AGs pointing at the Visionaries and exclaiming, “You Visionaries are great, and we want to work with you.” (One wag said this picture shows the AGs making monkey sounds while they posed, but I have checked the sound on my camera, and I could hear nothing of the sort.)
