Waterford Rotary Club is proud to announce Kjell
Nolke as its new President, taking the reigns
from Kathleen Fitzgerald.
Kjell has been an active member of Rotary for
six years. Originally from Killarney, with German parents, Kjell's commitment
to the club has earned the respect of fellow members who voted him in as their
new president for the forthcoming year.
Mr. Nolke expressed how much he is looking
forward to the coming year, "It is a huge honour for me to become
President of Waterford Rotary Club. I still feel very much a newcomer to Waterford, but have made
so many good friends in the club. The sense of family amongst members and
achievement in all the events run by the club makes it very much a part of
members’ lives.”
“Being self employed, membership of the club is
the best way to get me out into my community and become involved in the clubs
local, regional as well as international fund raising events. This year will be
very exciting for the club, most notably with the advent of the new Waterford
Christmas Winterval Festival. This exciting festival will be a wonderful stage
for our Rotary Christmas tree".
Kjell is an optometrist, running Nolke opticians
in Ardkeen and Tramore together with his wife Yvonne. They have two children
Ewan (10) and Katie (8).
