Newport Rotary Plays "Name That Rotarian"

Newport Rotarians enjoyed light fare during the Monday, August 4, 2014 Rotary Meeting at the Newport Rotary Building. The group, equally comprised of newer and "more seasoned" Rotarians fielded a series of "Name that Rotarian" questions. Surprisingly, the newer Rotarians won out, guessing a majority of the selections from clues given. The notable Rotarians were US President Warren G. Harding, Marconi,-the inventor of "the wireless", J.C. Hall- founder of Hallmark Cards, Sam Walton of WalMart fame, Duke Kahanamoku- the Father of Surfing", Col. Sanders of KFC, Wilbur Wright of the Wright Brothers, Dr. Norman Vincent Peele, Boxer Manny Pacquiao, and Designer Emilio Pucci. The program concluded with a modern day summation of The Object of Rotary authored by PDG Jim Henry, a key commentator on Rotary trends, in his most recent blog article at Retention Central.
