Honoring Rotarian Bob Grulke
Honoring Rotarian Bob Grulke
Today the Rotary Club of Illinois Beach Sunrise gathered at the home of Bob and Liz Grulke for our weekly meeting.  The purpose of this meeting was to dedicate a bench the club had installed in Bob's garden to honor him for his 50 years of Rotary Service.  Bob joined the North Chicago Rotary Club in 1967. He led the effort to charter the Illinois Beach Sunrise Club in 1999.  Bob and Liz have hosted more than 40 exchange students, most through Rotary. They’ve been active participants in the U.S. Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians and the International Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians.  Bob's dedication to Rotary and the motto "Service Above Self" is an inspiration to us all.  Thank you Bob for your dedication and service.
