The Rotary Club of Milwaukie welcomed our incoming 2021 - 2022 Club President Paul M. Geske at today's final meeting of the Rotary-year. We'd also like to thank out-going Club President Bruce Weaver for his outstanding service to the club during this incredibly unusual year.
Bruce has been a terrific leader for our club as we've navigated the challenges brought on by the Covid pandemic that have required a venue-change, resolving virtual & hybrid meeting formats, managing & retaining club membership, and host of other unforeseen issues. Despite these challenges, our club has still managed to continue with our robust Local Community Service projects & funding of more than $20,000 to local groups/organizations that make a real impact in our community; continued financial to support World Community Service projects; and continue our scholarship programing for our Milwaukie High School students.
Thanks for your leadership during this past year Bruce!
