Leslie was introduced by Elizabeth Cohoe. Elizabeth reported how Leslie had joined our Rotary Club during the pandemic. This did not slow her down, as Leslie played an important role in the development of the Clothing Closet at the new Kingston Secondary School. As well, Leslie was actively involved in obtaining donations for our Club’s most recent Auction.
Spirited as Leslie is, she announced that there would be skill testing questions at the end of her presentation!!
Leslie introduced herself by sharing details regarding her family roots, her work history, and her plans for her retirement.
Detailed questions were then presented to the club. Heather Nogrady was the attentive listener and answered Leslie’s questions with ease!!
President Ana reflected on the time years ago when she met Leslie at the Curling Club. Ana reflected on the fun they have enjoyed together, especially chatting at the curling club when perhaps they should have been more attentive to the game in progress! Ana admires Leslie’s goal driven methods and attention to detail.
Leslie related that she has enjoyed the enthusiasm of our club and how infectious this is. Knowing that we are in positions of privilege, the thought of helping others in need is the motivating force that keeps her going.
Bill Egnatoff thanked Leslie for her commitment to her family, community and the enthusiasm, insights, wisdom and practicality that Leslie brings as great gifts to our club.
