ROTARY GAZETTE
GOVERNOR'S CORNER

 

It is with great honor and pride that I recognize and give tribute to Patrick W. and Janet R. Carlton from the Rotary clubs of Las Vegas and Las Vegas West. The Carlton's are recent inductees into the Arch C. Klumph Society.

 

This honor recognizes their contribution of at least $250,000 to the Rotary Foundation. Their portraits will hang in the Arch C. Klumph Gallery at RI World Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois.
