Why We Love Rotary

In Memory of Carlton Brose

We are mourning the loss of beloved club member Carlton Brose. Carlton was a long time Rotarian, with a lifelong commitment to community service. We were lucky to have Carlton as part of the Arlington Rotary community and are blessed to still have his lovely wife Nancy as a part of our Rotary family. Together, they were a stalwart presence at most service events, always pitching in with good nature and good humor.  Carlton was a friend and inspiration to many of us and will be deeply missed.
