Rotary Comment – Stan Smith
 
It is hard to think back to a time that Rotary was not a part of my life.  I was a member of two other Rotary Clubs before being accepted as a member of our T/M Rotary Club in 1978 when we moved to Mequon.  I appreciate the many friendships with T/M Rotary Club members and the opportunity to serve with them.
It is now a privilege to share my experience with younger members and to urge them to appreciate all that we are able to do for our community and beyond.  I especially enjoy taking out of town visitors and family on a tour of Mequon Rotary Park, Village Park in Thiensville, the Town Center Gateway, and the Rotary Riverwalk.  It is easy to see the positive impact our Rotary Club has had on our community.
It was a recent pleasure to help celebrate the 85th Anniversary of our Club and I am confident there are many great years ahead with new ideas and new leadership each year.
