Highlights from A Year in Rotary
by Rob Hofmann 
 
Rotarians of Club #25 will undoubtedly approach 2022 with the same enthusiasm and optimism we approached this past year of 2021.  Although we did not rid ourselves of the scourge of COVID as we had hoped, we were able to meet in person once again for fellowship and service to others.
 
Perhaps the best way or recalling 2021 is do so in pictures. A special thanks to Club 25 photographer Jerry Thoreson and the many Gimlet writers who contributed their talents throughout the year: Darlene Anderson, Past Assistant Governor Al Makynen, Traci Marciniak, Past Assistant Governor Phil Strom, Past President Steve Yorde, and me, your humble Gimlet writer.
 
Leadership that saw us through a challenging year:
Past President Dean Casperson and President Chana Stocke
 
Rotarians do not sit idly by and wait for things to change. Rotarians take charge and move on! Rotarians know how to…
 
• Provide Service to Country and Community:
 
Our Veteran Rotarians
 
Roadside Clean-Up Rotarians
 
Nature Trail Clean Up Rotarians
 
 
• Rotarians know how to recognize fellow Rotarians for Service above Self: 
 
Past President Michelle Buria and Jerry Pelofske
 
Past President Michelle Buria with Dan Dock and Karen Dock
• Rotarians know how to feed the heart, soul and tummies whenever called to do so:
 
The Kitchen Crew at Life House.
 
Past President Michelle Buria
 
GB Schneider, Tom Young, Mary Young, and Jim Schwartz
• Rotarians know how to raise funds for great causes:
 
   Rotarians on Rose Day 2021
