The Rotary District President, Sally Montagne visited the Superior Rotary and was very impressed with the growth of the Superior Rotary. Montagne is in her fifth year as District 5500 Grants Chair. She has been an assistant governor, club president, a graduate of the Arizona Tri-District Leadership Academy and a facilitator for the Rotary Leadership Institute, PETS and District Assemblies.
Montagne is an attorney who practiced law in Washington, DC for many years and is a graduate of Vassar College and Georgetown Law School. Her primary fields of practice were criminal defense law and human rights law. She has taught law in many places including the National Institute of Trial Advocacy.
Montagne and her husband, Ernie, are Rotary Alumni and have helped develop a number of large matching grants for West Africa that include projects for water and other humanitarian aid in over 50 communities in Niger and Togo. Mrs. Montagne received the Service Above Self Award in 2009, and she and Ernie are Major Donors and Bequest Society members.
Montagne shared some wonderful stories especially about Africa. Montagne and her husband Ernie are extraordinary examples of caring, thoughtful Rotarians and humanitarians. One of the stories Montagne shared was watching the women in Africa carry water barefoot with the containers on their heads. It certainly makes us appreciate the little things we have.
The Superior Rotary meets every Tuesday at noon for a luncheon at Los Hermanos Blue Room. During the meetings the group interacts on many topics, recognize the students of the month or other guests, conduct business, share resources and opportunities and simply enjoy coming together with a common goal. Please feel free to stop in and visit to see what is new with the Superior Rotary.
