Rotary Club of Marco Island New Member

The Rotary Club of Marco Island Noontime is honored to induct Steve Suiter into the Club. Steve Suiter hails from Davenport, Iowa, where he was a Bank President and Insurance Agent for 39 years. He joined North Scott Rotary Club in 2003 where he served as President and on numerous committees. He is a generous Paul Harris Fellow +5 and Level II Bequest Society Member. One of Steve’s Rotary highlights was attending the International Convention in Chicago in 2005. He strongly recommends that everyone attend at least one RI Convention if possible.

Steve shared that his wife, Ann, was a huge supporter of Rotary in Iowa even though not an official member. One of her many gifts was cooking for and entertaining club members. Steve’s Club awarded Ann with her own Paul Harris Award for her service. Steve and Ann along with Alan and Linda Sandlin along with Linda Cassens at the Rotary District Night of 1000 Paul Harris’s in Punta Gorda to celebrate the amazing good that Rotary does in the world thanks to the generous contributions of Paul Harris Awardees.

Steve retired in 2013, and first visited the area and stayed at Port of the Islands with his wife Ann. Steve is delighted that his wife convinced him to move to the area full-time now and they purchased a home in Hacienda Lakes in September. An added bonus, their two sons and two granddaughters love to visit them here. Steve is an active member and volunteer at the Marco Presbyterian Church. He has been an Active “Kingfisher” in our club for numerous years. A Kingfisher is a Rotarian member of another club who spends part of their time in the Marco area and actively participates in our club activities while they are here.

The Rotary Club of Marco Island Noontime is thrilled and honored to have Steve and his wife Ann as official members of our Rotary family. Steve brings over 15 years of outstanding Rotary service and experience. He is passionate about volunteering. Steve shared a beautiful quote from a friend that sums up his belief: “What you do for yourself dies when you die. What you do for others lives on forever.”

Welcome aboard Steve! Thank you for your generous spirit. For more information on the Rotary Club of Marco Island Noontime, please contact President Linda Sandlin at 239-777-9200 or visit www.MarcoIslandRotary.org.
