ORBRC - ROTARIAN OF THE YEAR 

 

 

It is the time of year for each of you to nominate someone for Rotarian of the Year. Last year's recipient, Cathy Toth will be choosing this year's Rotarian and she hopes each of you will nominate someone. Just a few of our past recipients of this prestigious award are: Dave Coffey, Dan Robbins, Ruby Miller, Karen Bridgeman, Jim Bradbury, and Pat Postma.

 

For a complete list of all the past recipients, please go to our website and look under the club history page. This is just some of the criteria for you to consider:

 

An exemplary Rotarian and a good representative of our club, has a sustained record of participation in club activities, and contributes to one or more of the 4 avenues of service.

 

There will be forms on each of the tables for you to pick up , plus if you prefer you may nominate someone by emailing orbrc@comcast.net or cptoth@comcast.net.

All nominations are due by June 3rd, 2010 at the close of our regular weekly meeting.

 


 


GRADUATION CELEBRATION 

 

 

 

 

 

We need volunteers for Graduation Celebration for ORHS on the morning of Friday, June 4th. Our club helps with the post party clean up each year after the celebration. We will have signup sheets on all of the tables next week. Roger Olsen will be helping to coordinate this effort. A big thank you to Dick and Beverly Davis for being our first two volunteers!

 

 

 

 


 

 

Update on Courtney and Brian Henry

 

Great news! Brian Henry has been discharged from the inpatient care at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta AND admitted to the outpatient program. He and our sweet Courtney are now living in the apartment Courtney was using when she could visit, and they are learning to manage the tasks of daily living that lie ahead in the new "normal."

 

 

Courtney has expessed her deep gratitude to her co-workers at WSI-OR who have donated vacation time for the days she is away and for the donations that are providing Visa and AmEx cards to cover expenses and to her. The journal entry from Thursday contains a special shout out to ORBRC's members. (Here's the link to the site where you can learn more and leave a message if you'd like: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/brianhenry )

 

If you'd like to contribute toward the credit cards our club is sending, be sure to get your donation to president Nancy Donsbach soon.
