Identity Theft

The speaker at today's meeting was Gus Searcy. His field is identity theft, the fastest growing crime today. He told us how easily we could be targeted, and what it could mean to our lives if we were. He offers a program to companies on how to protect themselves and their employees from this risk.

Our Past President speaker today was Warren Willard, a charter member, and President during 1996-1997. He was brought into the club by Dale Ford. It was a very busy year for him both personally and for the club. He spent a great deal of traveling that year on its behalf.

It was the first year for our Golf Tournament fund raiser. It was a great success, and continued to be our main source of supporting the club's various charities until this last year. During that same year the club began to hold its Smiles Dental Clinic. It was also the highest personal contributing club in our district to Rotary International.

The international convention that Year was in England/Scotland. It was the highlight of his term and he will always treasure it. He feels his dearest friends are those from Rotary.
