Interview with Rotary President Lesli Massad

by Emily Stratton
I have enjoyed the assignment for a number of years of interviewing our current president for our Rotary newsletter. Here are President Lesli Massad’s responses. You will enjoy very much what she has to say!!!     Emily Stratton

 1. What is your first memory of Rotary?

My first memory of Rotary is joining my dad at meetings many years ago when they were held at the Skirvin Hotel. Back then, if my memory serves me right, they had Father-Daughter days. Of course, that was before women were allowed to become members of the Club. And quite frankly, my impression of Rotary then was not all that good. I remember thinking how irritated I would get at my dad for forcing me to attend such a boring luncheon with all those men. Of course, my dad was equally irritated with me and didn’t like my criticism of his beloved Club. My dad, Omar Massad, served Club 29 as its president in 1990-1991. 

2. What brought you into Club 29?

My job at the time had me working remotely from my home. After several years of remote work, the alone time was way too much. I was looking for ways to get involved in the community and knew that Club 29 was a wonderful way to get plugged in for both networking and service opportunities.

Dear Rotary Friends,
Thanks so much for making a donation to Mosaic Community Church in memory of my sweet Tony. 
Tony always loved to be an active part of Rotary - first with the noon group on
Tuesdays, later in life with the Thursday morning breakfast group.  He lived his life by the wonderful principles of Rotary.  Thanks so much for remembering him in this way.
Blessings - 
Maggie Ball Zahn
