114 - Livermore Rotary Club President, JR Romero
Let's welcome Livermore Rotary Club president for this year, JR Romero, riding in a car restored and proudly driven by Ed Coats. The car has a custom paint job in the original "Pagoda green," by President JR himself, of Tri-Valley Auto Body.
President JR grew up in Livermore, graduated from Granada High in 1979, and started his business, Tri Valley Body Shop, in 1980.
He's been in Rotary for 18 years and has been very active in our club as chairman of the annual fundraising Crab Feed for three years. During that time the funds raised increased substantially. He also donated painting services on projects like the Seagrave Fire Truck, which you'll see later today, and the new Rotary band stand in Carnegie Park.
Aside from Rotary, JR also belonged to Kiwanis and has volunteered for youth football, Little League, and Babe Ruth.
We're proud to have him as our president – he's been one of the good ones!
In the car with JR are his wife, Annette, and their children, Danielle, Gabrielle, Jessica, and Alex.
