Daniel Daigle
Dan has been a member of the Rotary Club of Southington for 16 years and during this time he served as Treasurer, Secretary, Vice President and President of the club. For the past seven years he has done an excellent job as our permanent treasurer. He has worked on all of the Four Avenues of Service Committees - Community Service, Club Service, Vocational Service and International Service. Dan and his family work at all the community service events and he is active at all of our fund-raisers - Apple Harvest Festival, Golf Tournament, Mardi Gras, etc. He has been a board member for many years with an excellent attendance record.

Ronald Klein
Ron has been a member of the Rotary Club of Southington for 30 years. He served as Treasurer, Secretary, Vice President and President. Ron worked for many years on the Radio Day Committee (the major fund-raiser back in the 80’s and early 90’s). He not only raised a lot of money for our club, but was one of the announcers for Radio Days on WNTY. Ron has served for a long time on the Gifts and Grants Committee and as chair of this committee has done a great job. When the Car Raffle became our major fund-raiser, he was at most of the fairs selling raffle tickets and it was through his office at Fleet Bank that we deposited the money and kept track of the tickets sold. He has served on all the committees of the Four Avenues of Service and is a permanent member of the Apple Harvest Festival “Setup” committee. He currently is President of the Rotary Trust.

In addition to honoring the two newest Paul Harris Fellows, new member Kate Terricciano (classification-marketing) was inducted into the Club by Membership Chair Arthur Blumer. Kate is the first former member of the Southington High School Interact Club to become a Rotary member. She is pictured at right between her sponsor, Carol Grant, and Art Blumer.
