More than Just a Service Club (Aired on July 27 and 28, 2019)

The dynamic duo of Doris and Ken Obremski, both Past District Governors of Rotary District 7210 and both members of The Rotary Club of Goshen, New York (Ken is once again president of the club after a long hiatus), come to RadioRotary to be interviewed by old friends Sarah O’Connell-Claitor and Jonah Triebwasser. Much of the interview consists of reminiscences of Ken’s 50 active years in Rotary (by January 2020) and Doris’ 26 years joining her husband in its work-- from immunizations for children in the US and against polio abroad, international exchanges, to disaster relief after Katrina. RadioRotary started during Doris’ tenure as District Governor and might not have made it through its early years without her help and encouragement. The pair joined Rotary because they wanted to be part of something important and it changed their lives and their family’s lives for the better.
