Snavely shares passion for art with Rotarians on Feb. 1

M arie Snavely, instructor of fine art at Dickinson State

University showcased some of her artwork to Rotarians

in a presentation entitled, “Inspire Your Heart with Art”

on Feb. 1.

Snavely’s acrylic painting entitled, “Sunrise, Sunset” placed second in the

2016 Badlands Art Association contest. The Bowman resident’s path to

becoming a renowned artist and art-enthusiast emerged once Snavely

realized it was some-

thing she could do, do

well and loved doing.

She earned a Master’s

degree from Northern

State University in Aber-

deen, S.D. and went on

to become an art teach-

er, in Bowman and Rhame, from where she retired in 2006.

Schafer earns second Paul Harris Fellow

Irene Schafer became the second club Rotarian of the

year to earn a Paul Harris Fellow, capturing her first Paul

Harris. The nine-year Rotarian also took advantage of 2-

for-1 match by the club to have her donation matched

using an available point system.

Of the club’s estimated 100 members, 62 are Paul Harris

Fellows, ranking the club’s among the highest of any in

District 5580 with such a large percentage of the fel-

lows , said Kris Fehr, chair of the club’s Paul Harris Foun-

dation committee.

“The club’s 2-for-1 offer is bargain, if you are interested

in earning your Paul Harris Award,” she said. The club is

offering members an accumulated bank of points, which

it earns in variety of ways, including donations from such members as Jim Ozbun and former member Clyde Frank. Fehr said she

worked with Frank’s family and Rotary International to return to the club Frank’s bank of 1,800 points. “I know he would be so

pleased to see his points being used like this for something he so strongly believed in,” added Fehr.
