Jim Everett, inducted on June 27, 2011, is our new president.
Jim has been a member of Rotary for three years, is a graduate of The Rotary Leadership Institute and a participant at the President Elect Training. He has been very involved since joining Newport Rotary, in all it's projects, from Dictionaries for Newport Elementary students to food collection for Matthew 25, raffles, clean-ups, the hootenanny, bench installations, car parking, and many other Newport activities.
Jim was born in Lafayette, Indiana and is a transplant in Newport, the best kind as many are born to stay in Newport, but Jim "chose" Newport! He spent his military time in Viet Nam during that war, and he is actively involved in the Honor Flight program.
He has been married for 31 years to his wife Marilyn, has three grown sons and two grandchildren, all living out of state. He is a retired electrician. Jim has a great sense of humor, but is serious and strong in his belief in ethics and fairness. He has lots of good ideas for Newport Rotary to see it grow in a positive direction for the benefit of the Town of Newport and its residents.
