This is a transition time for other reasons, too. Club member Irene Kelly is transitioning to district governor for Rotary, and former club president and longtime active member Jeanne Zetah is moving to Tucson.
Recognition of service to the club and its various roles June 12 became a recitation of nearly every club member’s name, from A (Dave Anderson) to Z (Jeanne Zetah). That level of involvement is a primary reason for the club’s success and why it’s so highly regarded in the community.
Thank you, club members, for all that you do.

NEW MEMBER INDUCTION: PG NARAYANAN
Our club welcomed its newest member, PG Narayanan. Welcome PG!
SPOTLIGHT ON ADAM SIENKOWSKI
A vocational was given by Adam Sienkowski, a member of our board. Adam is originally from southeastern Wisconsin, and his first job was helping run his parents’ dog boarding/kennel business. This Chicago Bears fan received his undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota and his law degree from the William Mitchell College of Law. He’s an associate at the James H. Gilbert Law Group in Eden Prairie. Adam likes to travel and still plays golf, soccer, and softball but he and his wife are mostly busy with their first child, 11-month-old Nolan.
HAPPY FINES
Irene Kelly is happy to have interviewed three applicants for Peace Scholarships recently. Dan O’Brien is happy to have spent time in South Carolina. Aaron Casper may have mixed feelings about a family milestone – the first teen daughter has her driver’s license. Carol Bomben is happy to be married to Ken for 43 years. Glenn Olson is happy to see a granddaughter performing in a musical this coming weekend. Cathy Haukedahl is happy to have two children graduate with their master’s degrees recently, and also happy to have sold her house. George Esbensen is happy to mark a 38th wedding anniversary with Jean.
