Tim Bell was recently celebrated as the Rotarian in the Spotlight. Here is more about Tim.
 
How long have you been a Rotarian? 5 years I think. (actually over 7 years) 
Who was your sponsor? Greg Kes
Why did you join Rotary? I had been working with the DARE bike-a-thon for several years and always wondered what the rest of Rotary was all about.  Greg Kes, Kyle Haugen, and Mitch Popple met with me to discuss the “rest of the story” and I became convinced that Rotary matched well with what I wanted to focus on - doing good things for our community, our youth, and with global issues that benefit the global family. The initiatives that Rotary was and continues to be involved in are things which are near and dear to my heart.
What is your vocation? I am the principal at Five Hawks Elementary in Prior Lake and have had the honor of going to school here going on 15 years.  I see my vocation as reaching every student every day in some positive way or another.
What do you do in your spare time? Some may say “what spare time” and I would disagree.  I have the two greatest grandchildren that live 25 minutes away and I get to see them often at ball games, dance recitals, and just to visit.
I do also love to cook, golf, and spend time with my wife (she may disagree but she has stayed married to me for 38 years this August!)
 
Thank you, Tim, for all you do for Prior Lake Rotary and the greater community!
