West Bay Rotary Club meeting

 

Deborah Fink gave a great classification talk today.  Deborah is the wife of Ray Fink, also a West Bay Rotary member.  Deborah decided to join Rotary as she kept finding herself volunteering for WBR functions and decided she liked the people and why not become a member.  We are glad she did.

Deborah describes herself and a detailed and number oriented gal with a creative side.  So, her classification talk started with giving us numerical aspects of her life, such as special dates, numbers of schools attended, houses lived in, numbers of jobs, numbers of siblings, etc.  She then went on to show her creative side by composing a nine minute long poem summarizing her life to an easy lilt.    Specifically, Deborah earned her Associates Degree as an Accountant.  She met Ray after he sold her a car and they have been married for 19 years.  They moved to Maine twice, the last time being about 5 years ago.  Deborah presently works as the office manager/accountant for Pine Tree Carpentry.  Welcome Deborah!
