Today was Rotary Day and we honored Jeff Kingbury earning his Paul Harris Fellow +7. Every $1000 donation to the Rotary Foundation earns a Paul Harris Fellow. Thanks Jeff for helping Rotary International do great things in the world.
Our club president, Roger Heacock gave a classification speech to let us know all about himself. He has been a Rotary member for 25 years and is a retired credit union CEO. He is also an avid runner, having run 81 marathons! He and his wife Chris of 43 years have 3 children.
Roger also covered his goals for 2025-2026 which can be viewed on our website rushmorerotary.org. Some of them he set for our club like a Rushmore Rotary 40th anniversary celebration, completing the Rotary gazebo at SBI, a clean water project, and work on establishing a Rotary park/garden in Rapid City. He emphasized that we are a team and will succeed as one.
