On Sept. 8, Rexburg President David Scott monitored the grill
as Laine Eckersell, assistant governor, smiles at the camera in the picnic in his back yard. The visible couple in the background is Merrill andJ'Lene Rudd.
Well, Fellow Rotarians, my computer crashed on Sept. 11, and I have been scrambling to catch up since. Therefore, my presentations of our great Rotary clubs for the next several days will emphasize pictures with some script. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
MY IMPRESSION OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF REXBURG? PRIDE, PATRIOTISM, PRESENCE!
The leaders of the Rexburg Club gathered for a picnic and fellowship. In the picture below on the left, we see Tim and Kim Kershaw and Merrill andd J'Lene Rudd. On the right, we see Rex and Melodie Head and Martha and David Scott. Also joining in the wonderful evening were Jerry Rigby, Eric and Robyn Easton and Vaughn Phillips and Lisa Bianco.
On September 9, President Scott took me to a wonderful site in Rexburg that honors America's service men and women, the work of Rotarian Lynn Archibald.
And to a Rotary Park...
And David also introduced me to Rexburg Rotarian Henry J. Eyring, advancement vice president, of BYU-Idaho. Dr. Eyring talked with the two of us for a gracious hour of his time about his pride in his university. He is an impressive fellow, deep thinker, and committed educator. Thank you, David, for setting up the appointment, and thank you Dr. Eyring for sharing the passion of your work with us.
Has your club helped construct a building to house a carousel? No? Well, David proudly showed me another site in Rexburg, a building displaying the Rotary symbol which houses a carousel. No wonder David is proud to be a Rotarian in Rexburg, one of the oldest clubs in District 5400, founded in May 1920. The club is also the home of Past District Governor Ray Rigby.
At the end of the meeting on Sept. 9, I asked a group to pose for a picture. Here they are. Thank you, Rexburg, for maintaining a vibrant club of good people committed to fellowship and service in an outstanding Idaho community.
With my respect - DG Terry Gilbert
