In Memory of
Terry Alexander

Terry Alexander, who would have been 2001-2002 District Governor of District 7690 passed away on Sunday, May 20, 2001

"Jack Green and several Rotarians visited Terry on Sunday afternoon. When they were leaving, Terry called Jack back into his room. "Jack, take me with you!" Terry said."

Every Rotarian takes Terry with them . . .

  • by seeking the challenge and opportunity of a Rotary assignment . . .
  • by engaging the assignment with all one's heart and
    energy . . .
  • by completing the assignment enthusiastically.

That is the soul of service.

That is the example of Terry Alexander.
