Before he resigned as vice president in 2023 for health reasons, Pete Thomas had all but completed a schedule of speakers for 2024. In addition to members of the RRVCWRT, speakers include members of nearby CWRTs and authors from various sources (some self-published), including Savas Beatie, a history publishing house from El Dorado Hills, California.
David Byrnes, current president of the RRVCWRT, is the retired executive director of Midway Village Museum in Rockford and past president of the Rockford Rotary.
"We currently have more than 80 members on the rolls, and a fourth are women," says Byrnes. "Our average in-person attendance is about 30 to 40, with eight to ten others on Zoom. We also share our Zoom links with other CWRTs, so some attendees are from other groups.
