Thank you, Rotarians, for your Service Above Self!

Rundquist Rotary Ringers

 

     On November 25th, several members of Rockford Rotary became "Rundquist Rotary Ringers" at Schnucks on Harlem Road. 

     For the new members and to refresh some older members, Dick Rundquist (Pete's Dad) started our annual Salvation Army Bell Ringing project and made it his annual crusade to make sure it was a success.  He got the stools and aprons that we still use and made sure that all shifts were covered, even if it meant that he took the last shift if he couldn't strong arm someone else.  With Dick's passing, Pete and Becky took over and continue the "Rundquist Rotary Ringers" legacy.

     Thank you to all who signed up to ring this year.

 

 

Patti Bigger seems to be having fun.

 

 

Mary Maxted and Becky Rundquist are smiles.

 

 

President Pete and First Lady Becky.  Pete seems to be trying to tinkle Becky's ear.
