Rotarians pass gavel
The Rotary Club of Keiz-
er held its annual installation
banquet on Wednesday, June
27, with the surprise an-
nouncement about the Keizer
Rotary Aboretum at Keizer
Rapids Park.
Before the passing of the
president’s gavel, outgoing
president Mark Caillier an-
nounced that the Keizer Ro-
tary Arboretum would be
named in honor of 52-year
club member Wilbur Bluhm.
Bluhm is horticulturalist
Emeritus with the Oregon
State University Extension
Service. He also completed
a tree inventory of Keizer in
2013 (there are 241 differ-
ent types of tress in our city).
Bluhm was surprised by the
honor but he made no com-
ments of his own.
The arboretum was planted
as a response to a challenge
from former Rotary Interna-
tional president Ian H.S. Rise-
ley. He challenged the 33,000
clubs around the globe to
plant a tree for each member
of their local club for environ-
mental sustainability. The fi rst
36 trees of the Keizer arbore-
tum were planted on Nov. 4.
A total of 76 trees have been
planted.
After the presentation to
Bluhm the past presidents
in attendance at the dinner
gave the incoming president
advice for his tenure. At the
end Mark Caillier passed the
president’s gavel to A.J. Nash.
Joining Nash on the 2018-19
Rotary Club of Keizer board
are president-elect Raeanne
McDonald, past president
Caillier, treasurer Mark Baker,
