2008 Olympic Gold Medalist visits Lodi Sunrise Rotary Club

Sunrise Rotary President Ralph Cesena Jr. meets 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist Stephanie Brown-Trafton

(May 27th, 2009 - Lodi, CA) - At our May 27th, 2009 meeting the Lodi Sunrise Rotary Club had the priviledge of hosting 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist Stephanie Brown-Trafton as guest speaker.

Upon arriving at our meeting location, the first thing that you can’t help but notice about Stephanie is that she is tall .. 6 feet 4 inches to be exact! When she stood next to member Tom McCauley, well .. let's just say that it didn't help Tom look any taller.

Stephanie shared with us her Olympic experiences (2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing), and her plans to compete at the 2012 Olympics in London. She also shared with us many of the souvenirs she has collected from her trip to the Athens and Beijing Olympics. This included passing around her gold medal for everyone to touch and feel! The medal was gold, with a white Jade insert on one side and was a big hit with the club!
