| Tony Nogales tells why he joined RB Sunrise Rotary |
On Wednesday evening, April 26, Carl and Mary Jane Kruse welcomed 11 Rotarians and 4 spouses into their home for a Fireside Chat. The purpose of a fireside chat is to allow new members to meet club officers and learn about Rotary and specifically RB Sunrise Rotary.
Tony Nogales, Chuck Andrean and Jeb Bakke learned about the club and Rotary. Tony joined RB Sunrise after participating in multiple house build projects in Mexico. Jeb Bakke is a returning club member who, after taking time to be active in his children's school years, decided that he wanted to come back because of what he wanted to do in our club. Chuck Andrean joined our club because he has been a member of 3 other Rotary clubs over the years and like our club.
Chuck Andrean, during the discussion, informed us that his wife, Yong Hee, a Dept. of Defense auditor who oversees 33 employees, has been selected to attend the Army War College in Carlisle, PA. (Chuck is himself a graduate of the Army War College.) Chuck and Yong Hee are keeping their home here in RB and plan to return in about 2 years. It is quite an honor for Yong Hee to be selected for the Army War college as the only woman selected in the group that will be going to Carlisle, PA. Other civilians were selected to attend the War Colleges of the other military branches on the Dept. of Defense. We will miss Chuck but congratulate Yong Hee on her new assignment.
