Rotarian of the Week 07-13-11

Our Rotarian of the Week grew up in Nevada, Idaho and California. His first paying job was delivering the Humboldt Sun newspaper for $6.00 a week in Winnemucca, Nevada. He attended Lowell High School home of the Cardinals located in San Francisco, California. There were 750 students in this Rotarians graduating class. Most of our high schools here in Wyoming do not have 750 students.

After high school our special Rotarian served honorably in the United States Army. Later he did his undergraduate work at the University of Nevada in Reno, and then completed law school at the University of Wyoming. On his first day of law school classes he sat next to the lovely Brandi Monger. She would later become his bride. Billie and Brandi have been married for the past eight years.

Billie Addleman was sponsored into Rotary by John Metzke. His most memorable Rotary experience was the 2006 Veteran’s Day Program and Booklet prepared by Dana Metzke honoring The Rotary Club of Cheyenne’s Veterans. He has served on the following committees; Cranium Cup, VA Santa Clause and Peaches. Billie Addleman has served The Rotary Club of Cheyenne in the following leadership roles; Chairman of Cranium Cup, Chairman of Peaches, Director, Vice President and President. He says his most important leadership role has been that of Rotarian. His proudest accomplishment is having served as President of the best service Club in Wyoming.

Our Rotarian of the Week’s favorite meal is Rack of Lamb; he enjoys running, reading and traveling as well as supporting his favorite NFL team the Arizona Cardinals. Billie has been a season ticket holder for the past twelve years.

In recognition of his service to our Club and our Community, The Sargent at Arms will present Billie with a gift Certificate and an Arizona Cardinals cap.
