RC Ashland celebrates 95 years!

On Thursday, December 8th, at the Bellefonte Country Club, Ashland Rotarians and their significant others enjoyed gathering together to celebrate Christmas.  District Governor John Adams was a special guest at the festivities that evening and Sister Reddenhair treated us with entertainment with music by The Beatles and filled the air with Christmas spirit.  Wonderful food was provided by Bellefonte Country Club- Apple Walnut Salad, Chicken, Beef, a rich Cinnamon Bread Pudding for dessert and spirited drink was on the menu.  Everyone looked their holiday best and had a wonderful time.

It was also the 95th Birthday for the Ashland Rotary Club.  The Club was established on December 1, 1916 and is the second oldest Rotary Club in District 6740.  The first President, Mr. Theodore J. Shout and the nascent Rotary Club could not have envisioned how successful the Ashland Rotary Club would be today.  Today the club boasts 86 members and growing and its diverse group of members, from every age group, represent most every aspect of the community. 
The week of the 21st the Ashland Rotary had their very first strategic planning session to lay down a roadmap for the continued success of the club.  The club wants to have the collective wisdom to know what is needed to meet and exceed their expectations serving the community; supporting it to build on their ability to create the future they envision.
