Member Spotlight
Chas Wilson
Retired from Career in Aerospace
Family:
Married 39 years to Phyllis, 2 children, 2 grandchildren
My passions, hobbies, interests:
Singing, racquetball, motorcycling, and possibly pickle ball.
What I'm really good at:
I love to solve problems. They may be word or number puzzles or technical challenges. People problems not so much.
Favorite place to vacation/visit:
We spent a magical anniversary at Club Med on Moorea Island in Tahiti. Very tropical, very relaxing. Truly amazing. Kind of "other worldly".
Most embarrassing moment:
Do I get 2? I was giving a presentation at work. There was a discussion going on between 2 of the attendees and while I was waiting for them to conclude, the tip of the pointer that I was using managed to get lodged in the fly of my pants. It took a little doing to extract it.
Oh, and then there was the time at work when the entire seat of my pants ripped out. I found a stapler to fashion a temporary repair and then snuck down the back stairwell to the privacy of my car.
Member Spotlight
Larry Borovay
President, Financial Network Recovery Inc.
Family:
Married 30 Years - 4 Children Ages from 29 years old to 39 years old - raise 2 Granddaughters and have another 8 Grandkids with 1 on its way and 1 Great Grandchild.
Why I'm in Rotary:
Kiwanis wouldn't take me - neither would AARP - I joined Rotary not knowing anything about it. I stayed in Rotary as it opened a door that was totally unexpected - a door to my visions and ambitions - a door to Friendship and Goodwill - a door to possibilities that can become reality. In other words "The Right Door".
Rotary Moment:
My Rotary moment was visiting a Orphanage in Mexicali Mexico and meeting the children - In particular, this one boy who came to me with a toy car that had to be assembled. He started talking to me in Spanish in which I couldn't understand a word as he was talking fast and excited. I realized he wanted me to put the car together. After about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to put the car together I was successful even though there were a few spare parts - this boy would push the car against the wall and it would break up and we would put it back together again and smash against the wall over and over - I soon realized that I didn't have to learn Spanish as his laughter said it all.
Strange, but true:
I eat the crust on bread
Passions, hobbies, interests:
I love the arts - I had worked with Actor Buddy Ebsen in regards to a series of Artworks that he painted that depicted his Character "Uncle Jed" from the Beverly Hillbillies and continue to run the website www.unclejedcountry.com and have been working with Artist Dennis Lewan for a little over 20 years and also run his website www.dennislewan.com
