Our second President was Kurt Schlange. He was born in Dundas and attended Yorkview Public School before moving to West Hamilton where he finished his education. He returned to Dundas as a loans manager for the CIBC and after a stint in Ancaster he became the branch manager of Canada Trust in Dundas. During his year as president, the club was just getting started. He recalls a group of energetic individuals working to raise community awareness and expand membership.
PAST PRESIDENT 2000-2001 KURT SCHLANGE
The two events that began in his year were Art in the Park – which continues to this day now under the leadership of June and Ivor Lynch – and the 5K and 1K Run for City Kidz in the Dundas Driving Park.
Kurt’s work took him out of Dundas and the club but he remains interested in all things Rotary. His current past times see him being a grandfather to seven children, a guitar player in the “ Russian Kurfew”, a local 60’s and 70’s band, and a volunteer at the Warplane Heritage Museum.
