Last week the Rotary Club of Arcata Sunrise celebrated 20 years of
Service Above Self. President Scott Heller led a moving evening of
celebration and fond memories.

| President Scott kicks off the Celebration |
Craig Newman, a Charter Member and former Club President, presented a retrospective of the many projects we have accomplished over the years. It was a history lesson for many of our "newer" members and a trip down Memory Lane for others. Craig reminded us that he's not the only Charter Member remaining - the others are Cam Appleton, Matt Babich, Bob Johnson, Harry Johnson, and Lynda Moore.
He also reminded us who has led the Club over the years. (See the list of Past Presidents at the bottom of this post.) Craig told us that two of our members have also served as Governors of District 5130: Harry Johnson and Terri Clark.

George Cavinta, who will serve as our Club's 21st President starting in July, promised to continue our tradition of serving our local and international communities.
