A SECRET SURPRISE

Rotary Club of Buffalo members surprised outgoing President Nora Eberl at her company, Eberl Iron Works in Buffalo, on June 25th.  Because of COVID-19, the club couldn’t have its annual party for its outgoing president – but wanted to do something special for her.  With the help of her husband – Matt Plizga, the club's Rotarians were able to keep its activities secret.  Everyone gathered (hid) outside her workplace at the side of the building with signs and balloons, gifts, and flowers.  Nora thought she was going to be doing a PowerPoint presentation about her year as president at noon that day…but…prior to noon, Matt told Nora there was a problem in the shop (the next building over) that she needed to come to see and as she came out the front door of her business, everyone yelled SURPRISE!!!! Of course, Buffalo Rotarians all wore our masks and were socially distanced outside.  Nora was able to show her presentation at a zoom meeting the following week.  What a wonderful way to thank President Nora!
