Upon seeing the three lengthy articles in the Journal Sentinel regarding the death of Sister Joel Read, I thought of her moment in T-M Rotary history. Twenty-one years ago the district and T-M Changing of the Guard party was held at Boders on the River. At that time, Sister Joel’s creative leadership as president at Alverno College, particularly focusing on thoughtful approaches to a college education for women, was
receiving national attention. On that evening, she was given an honorary Paul Harris recognition. She was thrilled when she realized $1000 had been given to the RI Foundation for inoculating children.

 

 It is fun to stop for a moment and remember our club’s good moments especially when we did kind things for special people.
