Rotary Club of Grand Island: District governor makes visit

Bob Artis, the Rotary District 7090 governor, visited the Rotary Club of Grand Island’s recent breakfast meeting to share Rotary International President Mark Maloney’s theme for the 2019-20 year: “Rotary Connects The World.”

Artis gave club members several examples of how this is occurring throughout the district and then challenged Grand Island Rotary President Richard Earne and the club members to follow the theme this year.

Artis also presented a special pin to Hank Kammerer, the club’s secretary and editor of its Rotary Bulletin, for his 50 years of service as a Rotarian with the Grand Island club.

The Rotary Club of Grand Island invites the public to its Nov. 20 dinner meeting at the Buffalo Launch Club at 6 p.m. for a special Veterans Day event with Dan Drexelius discussing the building of the Island’s Charles N. DeGlopper Memorial Park. Dinner is $20. RSVP by Monday, Nov. 18, by calling 716-578-8948.
