Today's past President, Mary Mar, told us about her time as our club President and her years in Rotary. Like many others, she was brought into the club by Rick Topping. She was also one of our Charter Members. Mary was the sixth President and served as President from 1995-96. She was President the year the Rotary International convention was in France, which she said was a true honor to attend.
There were 30 members at that time. She assured us she was on time every week during the year she was President. (She does have a reputation of arriving just in time to add her contribution to the day's fining.)
Mary has also always been very involved at the District level and over the years has made many friends at both the District and International level. Next year she will be our District Treasurer.
One of her greatest interests has been the RYLA program for high school students. She also takes a large part in the planning and running of our District Conference and District Assembly. Due to the amount of work on the district she has more accrued make-ups than anyone in the club.
Our speaker today was Michael Tye, who spoke on the possibility of universal health insurance in the future and how it could affect each of us.
