On Aug. 19, Denton Rotary celebrated its long awaited centennial dinner. The Maristella Feustle Trio entertained dinner guests during the event. A highlight of the evening was the centennial address by John Germ, past Rotary International president. A raffle also was held. The celebration honored Rotarian Rick Woolfolk, who was presented a major donor award by Paul Lucus, district grants and foundation chairman. The Denton Rotary Club meets every week at noon at El Chapparal Grille.
