Teri presented a special award to Ute Schneider, her partner of crime, her Rotary twin. These ladies have showed that working together is the key of success as they were preparing for their respective upcoming years. Ute presented a special gift to Kevin Crawford as "Husband Rotarian" with home made Schnitzel!! She really wanted us to capture his expression when opening his gift, and we did it :-) Kevin was so thrilled and thankful to get one of his favorites dishes home made by Ute, who is also a great cook, by the way. Ute also presented Teri with a special recognition for her “…outstanding leadership, dedication and unwavering commitment to SCRC…"
Kevin thrilled to receive his gift from Ute, home made Schnitzel!!!
We truly appreciated Chad G. Greer for his closing remarks as our Club’s Assistant Governor for the last three years. Teri thanked him for all his guidance and help during her tenure. And as our speaker today, Wayne presented a children’s book to Teri Fowle Crawford to write an inspirational note. These books will be later donated to a local elementary school and kids love reading the notes.
Thank you Teri Fowle Crawford for this wonderful year, allowing us to serve above self and for trusting each of your Directors. Officially, you are SCRC Past President RY 2025-2026!
