Pam Erby, first woman invited into Rock Falls Rotary in 1989 when Rotary was opened to female membership, was celebrated for her 35 years of membership and service to the community and to Rotary. She served as President twice, Secretary and Treasurer for many years, Social Committee and Ambassadorial Scholarship Chair in her club, as well as being one of the first Literacy Readers at East Coloma School 30 years ago.
At District level she served as Ambassadorial Scholarship chair, and on the District Nominating Committee for District Governor many years. She attended both the Chicago 100th Anniversary Rotary International Convention as a volunteer in 2005 and again attended the Atlanta Rotary International Convention. To name all the service she gave to her club, district, and to her community would take pages to list. Rock Falls Rotary celebrated her service with a program “This is your Rotary Life!” with members remembering all the service she gave.
