Valentine Couples in our e-Club

 
PDG Ed Charlesworth was the Rotary e-Club of Houston's Charter President as this club chartered only one year ago at the District All-Club Meeting.  His wife, Robin Charlesworth, produces our weekly newsletter and manages the website although she is an active member and was charter president of the Rotary Club of Houston NW Sunset.  Ed and Robin recently celebrated their 40th Anniversary by traveling to Machu Picchu in Peru and a vow renewal planned by their two lovely daughters.  "I have found that if you love life, life will love you back".  Arthur Rubenstein - 
 
 
Sofka is currently serving as President of the e-Club of Houston and Michael as Secretary.  Michael is also President-Elect of the club.  As you can see, both are quite committed to the ideals of Rotary and eager to serve.  Sofka is from Germany and Michael from Tucson, Arizona.  Both work at Dow Chemical and their jobs require frequent travel which is why the e-Club fits their schedule better than their previous club, the Rotary After 5 Club near Brazosport.  They were married in March, 2001. Thank you for your leadership!  “Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land
 
 
 
 
Another "power" couple are Michael and Adriane Miller.  Michael is currently serving as our club' treasurer and "Dree" is our dynamic membership chairman.  Again, two amazing people who devote time and talent to "Service Above Self" and our e-Club.  These two share an exciting life together which often involves traveling, and with a 24-7 e-Club both can fully engage in Rotary activities and enrich not only the lives of others, but their own lives are enriched by the many new friendships and service opportunities. "Where  there is love there is life".  Mahatma Gandhi.
 
 
 
Another couple, both Brazilians, Husein and Marcia Natali de Assis Allgayer, were recruited by Dree Miller to join Rotary.  A friendly and fun couple who enjoy making new friends in Rotary and serving others through our local and international projects.   Marcia is typically the face behind the camera at many of our events.   "Life is the flower for which love is the honey".  Victor Hugo
 
 
 
 
  John and Linda Caruso are both committed Rotarians and Major Donors of the Rotary Foundation.  Linda is a Past-President of the Rotary Club of Houston and serves on the Gulf Coast Leadership Institute team which holds annual leadership development training for Rotarians in our district.  John and Linda traveled with Ed and Robin in 2013 to volunteer on the Rose Bowl Parade Committee and enjoyed working behind the scenes on our Rotary float.  John was previously in the Rotary Club of Willowbrook.  Linda is currently serving as the e-club's Foundation Chair.  "La vita non e che un sogno."  Translated from Italian - Live is but a dream.
 
Tatiana and Andre Luis Berardi are another Rotarian couple serving together in the e-Club of Houston.  They live in the Woodlands near Michael and Dree Miller.  Tatiana studied Nutrition at USC- BAuru, Sao Paulo, Brazil, which is the location of our upcoming Rotary International Convention.  Andre is a naval architect who enjoys hosting friends in their home.  Also, they often foster dogs until they can their "forever home".  They contributed to a fundraiser in Houston to help build a kitchen in a women’s shelter in Brazil,  helped a friend in the local community who is below the poverty line and has cancer, and are always ready to offer assistance to others.
