Pete King, Columbus. Pete King not only reminded Columbus Club members of this year's theme, Create Awareness, Take Action, at every Club meeting, he led the club in a number of action projects. Like Me books, assisted the Latino population of Bartholomew County, and initiated a new scholarship program. Chartered in August, the Columbus Sunrise Club caught fire. Its ranks grew from 22 to 32 members by May 15, and the club is a visible presence in Columbus.
Members work at the local food pantry.
They helped with the Firemen's Chili Cookoff. They brought Ambassadorial Scholars to their Christmas party. They helped host the GSE team. They hosted the Kentucky Derby party at the conference, and they helped staff the Russell Hampton booth. They enjoy being Rotarians, and Rotary fellowship is prominent at all of their meetings.
