August 3, 2010
There are some happy events happening in the picture above. First, it's a family portrait representing a small town with Steve Love's wife, grandson and niece joining the shoot which occurred after the meeting.
Secondly, five members of this ten member club received their Paul Harris Fellowship and pins on the day I was there, and I had the privilege of presenting the awards to them. The new Paul Harris Fellows include Marty Freeburne, Len Schritter, Diana Schritter, Steve Love and Dave Whalen.
Thirdly, Len Schritter, fourth person on the back row, is not only a Paul Harris Fellow but a published author, having written the book, The Secret Life of a Snowbird. Yes, this Aberdeen farmer heads to warmer climate at the first hint of cold weather.
But, wait, there's more to Len than that.
You are looking at the Rotarian who won the second raffle prize of the 2010 Sun Valley Convention drawing! (In back of him is a listing of the club's past and current projects.) The prize? A 42 inch TV set, which Len traded for two sofa recliners! Way to go, Len.
COME TO OUR ROTARY GARDEN!
The club is justifiably proud of the Rotary Rose Garden on the edge of town as one enters from the west.
In this picture, Ken Westfall, Diana Schritter and Steve Love pose by the Rotary sign proudly.
Yes, the Rotary Club of Aberdeen is part of the family of Aberdeen.
