Not her usual self to the start of the new year! Gwen was caught off guard and couldn't provide us with a "memorable story"!

 

She has been in Rotary for 32 years, including 5 years in New Hampshire where she was the 2nd woman member. Married to her husband Mark and lives in Pittsfield with their two cats.  She retired from TD bank, where she was a commercial lender.  

 

She promised to bedazzle us in the upcoming near future!

The board has completed a second round vote of acceptance of the proposal for new members: 

Emily Badger, a new Therapist / Licensed Clinical Social Worker in town (read about her on the ellie Mental Health site or on Psychology Today); coming from Tennessee, where she was a member of the Rotary Club of Columbia Breakfast. Alex Reczkowski is proposing her. This is the 2nd posting of this proposed member.

 

Diana Knaebe, transferring from the R.C. of Decatur, IL. Ms. Knaebe is the president and CEO of the Brien Center. She looks to join the Club under the classification of behavioral healthcare / healthcare. President Tom Bernard is the proposer.
