12/2: Lenny Reeder, Military Experience

December 2, 2025

Our own Lenny Reeder took to the podium for this week’s meeting to give us a look at his life journey. He talked about upbringing throughout the southeast, his college experience (a cheerleader – who knew!),  and the pivotal choice to join the military following 9/11. The decision resulted in a 24 year a career, which included several overseas deployments and life changing assignments supporting medical support efforts through the Caribbean and South America. Lenny still puts service above self, as a member of Rotary as well as through extensive volunteer works he does in the community and schools. Thanks for all you do, Lenny!

We also heard from our outbound International Youth Exchange student, Mary Margaret Hagood, who gave us a review of her year living with a Rotary host family in Switzerland. A great experience and we encourage all Rotarians to support this program, either as hosts for incoming students or helping find interested local student to spend a year overseas (see Keyway for more info).
