After leading the club in singing R-O-T-A-R-Y, J.P. invited each new member’s sponsor to introduce the new members. Bob Goehler introduced Sheryl Hawk (in absentia), Mike Gibson introduced Melissa Schwartz and Bob Rust introduced both Kris DePaolo and Lisa Spradlin. Other than Sheryl (who was unable to attend due to a work conflict), each new member took a moment to express their delight to be a part of the club and their desire to serve the community and the world as Rotarians.
