Peaceful Transition of Power: Tom Takes the Gavel

As we prepare for the coming Rotary year, we're trying not to act too impressed that our incoming president, Tom Thorfinnson, is basically Rotary royalty. While the rest of us are figuring out where we left our name badges, Tom somehow found time to serve as President of the Hopkins Rotary Club, sit on the Rotary International Board, serve as Rotary International Vice President, become Vice-Chair of The Rotary Foundation Trustees, and served as Rotary International's Chief Strategy Officer. After a distinguished 30-year career in corporate law and decades of leadership in water, sanitation, and Foundation grant work, Tom has graciously agreed to spend the next year trying to keep the Eden Prairie Noon Rotary Club pointed in the right direction. 

We know we're incredibly fortunate to have him at the helm—and we'll do our best not to make him regret saying yes.
