Tri-Club Reception Welcomes Governor

I was welcomed to Farmington with a tri-club reception at the San Juan Country Club. It was an evening of great fellowship and chance to visit with old friends. I was able to visit with Jess Beard, a Rotarian with 50 years of perfect attendance who keeps busy rebuilding airplanes.

Thursday morning I meet with the Tres Rios Club. chartered in February 2008, they are starting their year of service under the leadership of Dennis Ivie. During the meeting, Dennis presented Immediate Past President John Tata a plaque for his year of service as chartering president. The club's goals for the year are building membership, increasing fellowship opportunities, and building visibility in the community.

At noon, I visited the Rotary Club of Farmington. Mark Biel has established a challenging membership goal for his club - increasing the membership by 10 to 62. Mark also stated that he wants to work with the other presidents to have "One Rotary Club in Farmington with three meeting times."
