Lincoln Rotary is blessed with many amazing members, and we are so thankful for this one in particular! "Stix" was serving in our military in France on the day the United States liberated Paris from Nazi control.
Stix is a hero, and we are happy he is a part of our club, faithfully taking attendance week after week as we all file in for lunch on Thursdays!
Thank you Stix and all our military for keeping our freedom alive. Rotary is a better club because of you!
And this is why we call Tony Bellacera "Stix." He was in the Army Marching band and played on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées when France was liberated.
