Bruce introduced Andy Scheck as a new red badge member.  Bruce reflected on Andy’s mention last week about how happy he has been to have found our club and to have the opportunity to rejoin Rotary.  Bruce reminded us about the 4-Way test, the reputation we have as Rotarians and our responsibility as Rotarians.  He welcomed Andy as a new member of our club.  Andy was a CEO in Europe for an International Company and comes to our club with a great level of expertise.  We look forward to his Rotary experience, his enthusiasm to join our club, and our future friendships.

 

Bob Hayden introduced Michael Montafi into our club. Michael grew up in Auburn, leaving 17 years ago to Saint Mary’s College. He later joined the Peace Corps to serve 2 years in Azerbaijan and then completed his Master’s degree in International Relations.  He now works for Princess Diana’s organization called Halo, an organization that is dedicated to removing land mines around the world.  Michael later met Bob’s granddaughter, Brinn and later married her to join the Hayden family here in Auburn. The first time that Micheal came to our club, it was to hear a guest speaker about land mines, but ironically, the speaker cancelled and Michael stepped in as our speaker.  We welcome Michael to the club, please be encouraged to introduce yourself and say “Hi”.
