Our Rotarian of the week was born at Cheyenne Memorial Hospital and has lived in the area ever since. As a kid she lived out in the country and rode the school bus to school. Our special Rotarian says she enjoys every minute of Rotary and really likes visiting with all of the Club members. Her first job was working as a curb hop at the Owl Inn for 38 cents per hour and tips. Marilyn Casner has played the piano for our Club since April 1973. She was married to Bill Casner for 40 years before his passing in 1990. She has six grown kids, three boys and three girls. She also helped care for 53 teenage foster kids with her six kids. Her favorite meal is French dip. Other than family, her proudest accomplishment is being a full time church organist in Cheyenne for 53 years. She currently plays at First Christian, where she has played since 1991. In her free time, Marilyn enjoys serving others. She also plays at both funeral homes, Rotary and Church, and she is not ready to retire yet. In recognition of her many years of service to our Club, the sergeant at arms will present her with a gift certificate to Poor Richards.
