This week's speaker is Sarah Beyer, Treasurer of The Rotary Club 13 Auxiliary. Her topic is "Highlights of How the 95-year-old Auxiliary has Supported the 100-year-old Rotary Youth Camp."
Sarah joined "Wives of Rotarians" in 1989 when her husband, Rick Beyer, joined Club 13. Her first assignment on the Wives of Rotarians Board was to Chair the Youth Camp Committee. Since then, she has served in many Auxiliary officer roles, including President (1995-97; 2005-06). During her first term, in 1995, women began to join Rotary and the Wives of Rotarians organization name was changed to "Rotary Club 13 Auxiliary." Sarah has been Auxiliary Treasurer since 2008.
After 95 years, with only 28 remaining members, the Auxiliary will dissolve. Remaining assets shall be distributed to the Rotary Club 13 Youth Camp of Kansas City, Missouri, according to Article III, Dissolution, of the Auxiliary By-Laws.
Ironically, the 95th anniversary of the Auxiliary coincides with the Centennial of the Camp. Sarah will share highlights of the instrumental role the Auxiliary has played in supporting the Rotary Youth Camp
Sarah has fulfilled many servant-leadership roles through the years including President of the Missouri Dental Hygienists' Association (1985), Rotary Auxiliary Officer (1992-present), The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary Treasurer (2023-present), Colonial Presbyterian Church Deacon Board Chairman (2009), and Bible Study Fellowship International Group Leader and Childrens' Leader (1989-present). Sarah has been married to her husband Rick for 54 years. Sarah and Rick have two grown sons, Erik (Venice, FL) and Kent (Lee's Summit, MO).
