At the Pub Club meeting last Wednesday evening, we had a large turn-out to celebrate the recognition of JIM HANKS. 
He was presented with a new Paul Harris Pin containing three saphhires by SUSAN HYCHKA. And WES MC DIVITT presented him with a certificate making him a Double Diamond member of the Lafayette Rotary Club Foundation. We deeply appreciate JIM’S generous contributions to make this a better world through Rotary.
PROGRAM:
LIZ SOLBERG introduced John Dennis, Mayor of West Lafayette. John began by saying that there were lots of changes taking place in West Lafayette right now and acknowledged the work by former mayor SONYA MARGERUM to make these changes possible. 
Since the work of the City impacts citizens at many levels, he has decided to use social media to try to answer some of the frequently asked questions. Interviews with department heads where he asks” why the job is done this way”, or “how do you do it?” were taped and have beem posted to You Tube. He showed us one done with the Street Commissioner, Dave Downey, regarding snow removal. Another interview with Utility Director Dave Henderson answered questions about the business of sewage treatment. We all loved the sense of humor Mayor Dennis brings to these very important but not so glamourous tasks. The mayor applaudes the city employees whose dedication can not be replaced.
