The Arch Klumph Society was created in 2004, during Rotary International's centennial celebration, as a meaningful way to recognize the Foundation's highest-level donors. Membership in the Arch Klumph Society is lifelong. Each member has the opportunity to have his or her portrait placed in the Arch Klumph Society Gallery, located on the 17th floor of Rotary International World Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, USA. Portraits are etched on glass plaques to create a stunning display of our Foundation's most valued supporters. This photo is of Nick and Alma Michals. Nick was a longtime member of the Rotary Club of Red Bank and also a Past District Governor. Their dedication to Rotary has always been an inspiration. They are missed greatly by those who knew them.
