Garrett Robinson, Centro Club president, 2008-2009

Garrett Robinson, President of the Rotary Club of Santa Fe Centro in 2008-2009, passed away on Friday, August 11, 2016.  Garrett founded a Rotary Club in Haiti, then later transferred his membership to our club.  In 2006, he invited me to join the Centro club.  He served as Club President in 2008-2009. We will remember him as a caring father, a warm friend and a great Rotarian.


A service will be held next Saturday, Sept 10, at 11:00 am at the Ascent Bible Church. 2076 Galisteo St.  Santa Fe.

In our thoughts & prayers

Peggy Crumbacher, wife of honorary member Paul Crumbacher, passed away on August 23.  Paul always passed around the Good News basket and closed with a joke.  We looked forward to those jokes every week.  Paul switched to honorary status when he retired so that he could stay home and take care of Peggy.  A Rosary Ceremony will be at 7 pm on Friday, September 9th. The funeral mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 10th. Both services will be held at Santa Maria de la Paz Catholic Church in Santa Fe.

Centro-katu

Centro has a new banner in its collection! Centro Rotarian Jean Constant did a makeup at the Rotary Club of Jyväskilä, Finland. The President very graciously accepted our banner and donated his club's very own to our club. Created in 1945, the Jyväskilä RC is still one of the most dynamic Rotary clubs of Central Finland. Great club, great Rotarian fellowship too.

The unstoppable Barry!

Now that his wife Claudia has graced his family with the gift of beautiful Emma, Barry can breathe a little and share with us a bit of information coming from the past District Convention last April - 

Here’s Barry receiving an award for “Outstanding Active Rotarian”from District  Governor Tom Walker (right) and Regional Rotary Coordinator David Norris (left).

That’s what Centro Rotarians are made of! Congratulation Barry, you make all of us proud.
