(President Jim congratulates Jim Corless of the Keweenaw National Historic Park on being elected a member of the CLK Rotary Club. The members add their congratulations and welcome as well.)

The meeting was attended by 18 members – if you count Jim Corless, who was inducted during the meeting and Don Kilpela, who arrived late due to mechanical challenges with his car.


Jim Corless was welcomed into the Club. Jim is Superintendent of the Keweenaw National Historical Park. He followed the induction with a short introduction. During his career he has been posted at a number of National Parks> Though he has had previous contact with Rotary, until today he has not been a member.
