The Brookings Rotary Club welcomed new member John Folkerts, right, inducted into the club on Feb. 6 by President Michael Gonda.
John and his wife, Vicki, who is a librarian at Mickelson Middle School, own The Bug Guy, a commercial and residential pest control company. Last year they also purchased a travel agency franchise, Dream Vacations, and in addition John owns and operates a small-business bookkeeping and consulting firm. The Folkerts have lived in Brookings for 38 years.
I wanted to become more active in the Brookings community and connect with other leaders through a service organization where I could both learn and provide services to the community, Folkerts said. I look forward to working with other club members on making a positive impact locally as well as globally.
