      The Grinnell Rotary Club met Tuesday, July 11 for their first official meeting of the Rotary year since the first Tuesday was a holiday. Since this was President Janet Stutz’s last official meeting, Treasurer Todd Honold presented her with a Rotary logo mantel clock to recognize her years of service as Rotary President.
     In addition to her last meeting as President, she was also wished well as she and her husband leave Grinnell to be closer to family. The club appreciates her membership and time as President.
       The now Past President Janet passed the Rotary President’s gavel to incoming President, Scott Beach. Scott completes a line of Presidents from the Beach/Urfer family that includes his wife, Julie, her dad, Jim Urfer, and her grandfather, Sam Urfer. Grinnell Rotary appreciates Scott and the Urfer family for their service to Grinnell Rotary and the Grinnell community.
       After the change of leadership, the club began planning for “Kites Over Grinnell” coming Sept. 30. The hope is that this free family event will be bigger and better than last year.
      Grinnell Rotary meets each Tuesdays at 6 p.m. at West Side Family Dining. All are welcome, Grinnell Rotary would love to have you stop out and join us on a Tuesday night and see what being a Rotarian is all about. It is a great way to meet new people and serve the Grinnell community.
