Press Release: June 24, 2015. Today at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Minnetonka Rotary outgoing President Chris Rosenlund announced The Rotarian of the Year for the Minnetonka Rotary.

Chris Rosenlund stated the following, “The board made some great nominations for Rotarian of the Year. There were three names that were tied in the voting, so one of the privileges of being the president is the ability to cast the deciding vote. It wasn’t easy, because all of our members are committed to our ideals, but I felt that this members contributions were strong across the board.”

Chris announced that Bill Sotreberg was the choice for Rotarian of the Year.

Chris went on to explain, “Every time there was an event, he was there. Not only was he there, but he was there with a great attitude and contagious enthusiasm. He always had a hand in making sure that things got done and his contributions, while not always obvious, were critically important to the success of our Annual Fundraiser, Membership Development and many other events.”

Bill has been a member of the Minnetonka Rotary since January 2010. He has been a member of the board of directors for this past Rotary year. And he has been involved in Rotary service projects and events with such regularity, that as Chris said, he seems to be at every service project and is the embodiment of Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self”. Bill Sorteberg is deserving of the Rotarian of the Year for his past year and for a job well done …. Congratulations to Bill Sorteberg.
