Rotary club
The Brown County Rotary Club will meet over Zoom at 7:45 a.m. on Thursday, Jan 5.
The guest speaker will be Warren Sargent, who is production manager/technical director and member of the board of directors of the Brown County Playhouse.
He will discuss the history of the Playhouse, its travails through and emergence from the COVID pandemic, and plans for its future growth.
While growing up, Sargent learned technical theater while working at a Disciples of Christ church at which his father was pastor. He completed a 16-month course of paramedic training at Methodist Hospitals that teaches advanced patient assessment techniques and lifesaving invasive procedures in accordance with the National Registry. Techniques and procedures including intubation, I.V./I.O, medication administration, advanced airway techniques and the latest in pediatric and advanced cardiac life support. He continued to work part time in the technical production field while working full time for over 35 years as a firefighter and paramedic, the last 20 years at the City of Lawrence Fire Department in Lawrence, Ind. Sargent retired from the fire service in March of 2021.
Members of the community, especially those interested in exploring opportunities to participate in projects and to be of service to our community, are invited to attend. Join via Zoom using a link obtained by visiting www.RotaryClubofBrownCounty.org and clicking on the “Contact us” URL.
