On November 8 at the Foundation Dinner during District Conference Michael and Donna Steffenson of the Moline Rotary Club were honored as our District's second set of active Arch Klumph Society Members.

Michael was active in the community serving as Director, President, and Trustee of the Moline YMCA, Director and President of the Associated Employers of the Quad Cities, and Chairman of the Trustees of his church. In 2007, Michael was named to the Quad Cities Business Hall of Fame. He has been active in Alumni work at Iowa State University serving as a Director of the Research Foundation and a Governor of the ISU Foundation. He has been recognized with ISU’s highest awards for engineering, alumni activities, and philanthropy.
Michael joined the Moline Rotary Club in 1970 and served as President in 1980. He attended the International Convention in Chicago where Rotary was challenged to take on the task of eliminating polio from the world. He served for many years as his club’s Chairman of the Rotary Foundation Committee.

Donna was active in the community through leadership positions in the Chamber of Commerce and her church. She was an active Rotarian during her professional career and became a Paul Harris Fellow long before she met Michael.
As a couple Michael and Donna believe in and support the Rotary Foundation's efforts to do good in the world. They also should be thanked for their very generous donations to our Rotary Foundation.
