Insight, Inspiration, and a Few Adorable Moments at Kelso Rotary
The September 18th Kelso Rotary meeting was filled with thoughtful discussion, community recognition, and a touch of cuteness that had everyone smiling.
We were pleased to welcome David Futcher as our guest speaker. David delivered an engaging and witty presentation on estate planning titled, “You Can’t Take It With You (But the State Might).” With humor and clarity, he walked us through the importance of planning ahead, offering practical advice on protecting assets and preparing for the future — a topic that resonated with many in the room.
Adding a heartwarming twist to the meeting was the presence of a very special first-time guest: 6-month-old Caleb, son of Rotarian Mitch Norton. Caleb may just be our youngest visitor yet, and he certainly stole the show with his big smiles and cheerful demeanor. His presence reminded us all of the importance of planning not just for ourselves, but for future generations.
In addition to an excellent speaker, the meeting also celebrated academic achievement and leadership. We proudly recognized our Kelso High School Students of the Month for September:
- 👏 Jasmin Reyes-Zepeda
- 👏 Will Cheslock
Both students were honored for their dedication, achievements, and positive contributions to their school and community. Each received a $100 check from Kelso Rotary in recognition of their hard work. We are excited to see the bright futures these young leaders are building.
Whether it’s through learning, leadership, or legacy, it’s always a meaningful day at Kelso Rotary. We’re proud to support the people and programs that make our community stronger.
