My Rotary sponsor is Stan Smith from the noon club. I owned two small homes adjacent to City Hall and was working on a potential development project. I met Stan at the Mequon Town Center Committee, which was trying to create development in the area, Stan recommended that I join Rotary to get involved in the community. Almost 15 years later, my membership in Rotary has been life-changing both personally and professionally. We often refer to our group as “Our Rotary Family,” a group of like-minded individuals who are committed to service and each other. I have had many “Rotary Moments” over the years. Recently, John Cabanas invited me to join his bike club, picked me up, and introduced me to a new group of friends.
