Paul Harris Fellow Award - Dan Gustavson
Dan is an excellent Rotarian, squeezing in valuable time to attend most meetings and volunteer where he can.  He is incredibly busy with his dental practice, so we appreciate that he makes time for us.  Her is very organized with a creative and fun spin on everything he gets involved with.  He embodies the true premise of fun and fellowship.  He is an avid outdoorsman who graciously organizes and leads our annual Rotary Ski Challenge. He also took on the organization of the golf tournament this past weekend and we can all agree that is a huge success!
 
If you would like to donate $100 toward this much deserved Paul Harris, contact Steve Snyder or Steve Galyardt.
