It is with deep regret to report that Tim Carnahan passed away on May 12, 2020 from complications from colitis.
Tim joined Rotary in 1993 and served as Club President in 2003-2004. He has been our inspirational leader and historian. Tim served as the Newsletter Editor and reported that "never let the truth get in the way of a good story."
Tim always had a smile on his face and he will be missed.
