The Downtown Topeka Rotary Club recognized retiring Board Members Terry Diebolt, Anita Wolgast and Mike Welch at the Topeka Rotary Club Annual Banquet. The club also honored sixteen members who are celebrating milestone anniversaries between twenty and fifty-five years.
Long-time member Eldon Sloan was recognized for making a $10,000 contribution to Polio Plus and Ken Gotewiel was recognized as President Joan Wagnon’s first-ever “Rotarian of the Year”.
Rotarians were also recognized for perfect attendance for the past calendar year.
The Club also recognized two members of the Topeka Community who exemplify the Rotary motto of Service Above Self. This year, two individuals received Honorary Paul Harris Fellowships. Pauline Johnson (pictured) and Dale Cushinberry were this year’s awardees. Cushinberry is the principal at Highland Park High School and Johnson is a community volunteer who helps organize the annual Topeka Thanksgiving dinner.
