WE APPLAUD OUR CIVITAN OF THE WEEK: Bill Ferguson

Our Civitan of the Week is the retired owner of Service Office Equipment. Bill and his lovely wife Sandie are members of the Episcopal Church of the Advent. Bill has three children; David, Robert, and Leslie Ferguson Horvath. He is also the grandfather of one. Bill is a graduate of the University of Florida and served in the U.S. Air Force in 1952. When he is not busy searching for funny stories to share with us, Bill enjoys fishing, traveling, and photography. Because of Bill's love of photography our Scrapbook was filled with 'snappy' moments of our activities last year. Bill has been an active member of our Club since 1963. We are grateful for his dedicated service in all of our activities. His 'fervor for fines' certainly speaks well of his loyalty as Sergeant-at-Arms. You think he is coming to shake hands, when actually he is reaching for your quarter.

CIVITAN OF THE YEAR:

Last week our Past President, Sherry Hoffmann, presented Keith Parris with the Civitan of the Year award. Keith has served faithfully for many years as Treasurer of our Club and past editor of the Civitan Builder. Those are just two of the many ways Keith has found to be a shining example of what it means to be Civitan. We are proud of you, Keith. Thanks so much for all you do.
