The Rotary Club of Champion president John E. Fisher (r) led the entire membership in welcoming back former Rotarian, Cheryl Knowlton (l). Due to some scheduling conflicts Cheryl had not been an active member but recently was able to return to the club as an active member.
Cheryl is the Facilities Manager at the Champion Presbyterian Church. Each member is charged with upholding the Rotarian ideal: Service above Self. During her hiatus from active membership Cheryl still helped with events as much as her busy schedule would allow. She has created beautiful archival volumes that outline the clubs many activities in the community. These scrapbooks serve as both a history and an inspiration for the club. The Rotary Club of Champion meets Tuesdays at noon at Wayside Restaurant in Champion.
