Our last speaker in the "Getting to Know Our Officers" series is club treasurer, Dick Dowell.

 

Dick married his wife, Joyce, in 1971, moving to the Youngstown area from Columbus in the late '70s. He had the intention to join Rotary in 1985, but due to his boss being a member of Boardman Rotary and Poland not having a Rotary club yet, Dick ended up joining the Kiwanis. When his boss transferred, Dick joined the Boardman Rotary in 1988. 

 

Soon after, Dick was called to serve our country, and having not let anyone know he wouldn't be around, was let go from Rotary. After a stint in downtown Cleveland upon his return, Dick found his way back to the area and a member of Boardman Rotary once again.

 

We thank Dick for his service to our country, and for being a loyal (and persistent) member of Boardman Rotary through the years!
