President Larry presented the check to the RMDH leadership in front of over 400 attendees. Our Rotary name was proudly displayed on a plaque as one of the 40 donors (40 donors for 40 years). A truly spectacular evening for a wonderful cause and also a celebration of our historic collaboration with the Ronald McDonald House. In attendance from our club were Board Director Alexander Litvinov, Tom McConnon, Dr. George Onourah, Past President Jan Brown and Executive Director Andreas Runggatscher with spouse Monica.
