Club receives Rotary citation

Bianca Cheney, immediate past Roswell Rotary Club president, holds a 2022-23 Rotary Citation honoring the club for “Helping imagine Rotary in the lives of people all over the world.” The award was presented by past District Governor John Drusedum.

Beating the summer heat

Roswell Rotarians Steve Smith and Frank Sturges took their wives on vacation away from the recent 100-degree-plus days in southeastern New Mexico.

With their wives Kathy Smith and Nita Sturges, Steve and Frank went glacier hunting in Iceland, an island country in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The two couples arrived in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, on Aug. 4. There they boarded a Viking cruise ship, which took them around the island country.

During their voyage, they stopped to get a close-up look at glaciers and wildlife. Steve reported the temperature at one of the glaciers was 45 degrees F at 2:15 p.m. one day.

The island country has a population of about 380,000.
