Weekend festivities included a tour of Rotary headquarters, an exclusive Foundation panel discussion, recognition ceremonies and a celebratory dinner. Events included a reception with Rotary senior leaders, including Rotary Interna- tional President Mark Maloney from Decatur, AL. Membership in the Arch Klumph Society is lifelong and as such, the Adams’ will now have a portrait placed in the Arch Klumph Society Gallery, located on the 17th floor of the headquarters building. Member portraits are etched on glass plaques and create a stunning display of the Rotary Foundation’s most valued sup- porters. Commensurate with their generosity, they’ll also enjoy unique lapel pins, pendants and their personal profile will be included in an interactive display highlighting The Rotary Foundation’s top leaders and innovators. “We are so pleased to have Sam and Mary in the Society and thank them for the impact they are making through the work of Rotary around the world” said Rotary Foundation Chair Gary Haung, Taiwan. “We cannot thank them enough for their com- mitment to creating a more vibrant, healthy, and equitable world.” n Find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter NOVEMBER 2019 53
