Veteran's Day Presentation

 
Last week's typical meeting was replaced by a special tribute to Veterans in honor of Veterans Day.  Honorees included Rotarian Lieutenant Bob Kramer, Lieutenant Evan Totten, and Lt. Col. John Lane.  Each of the honorees received a plaque presented by Parker Mayor, the Honorable Mike Waid.   A special "thank you" goes to Jim Boyd for putting together an exceptional program.
