On Thursday, March 13, the Rotary Club of Royal Palm Beach inducted a new member, Ray Ahmed, and also awarded a service pin to Dr. Bruce Elkind. Ahmed is president and pharmacist in charge of Royal Palm Pharmacy, located at 11328 Okeechobee Blvd. He will begin the Red Badge program to learn all aspects of how the club operates. He was proposed as a member to the club by B.B. Okon. Elkind, who is a charter member of the club formed in 1990, received his Paul Harris +5 pin. Over the years, Elkind has given $6,000 to the Rotary Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation that supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational and cultural exchange programs. Here is Foundation Chair Eric Gordon with Elkind.
