BERLIN ROTARY WELCOMES NEW MEMBER

Berlin Rotary President Wayne Banaszak introduced the newest member of the club, Jerry Bella.   After receiving his nametag and Rotary pin, Jerry gave the club a brief biography of himself.

Jerry graduated Berlin High School in the class of 1961 (as a Berlin Indian) and received his teaching degree from U.W.-Stout.  He and his wife Sandy (Kuklinski) resided in Kiel where Jerry taught from 1967-2000.

In 1988 Jerry started a screen-printing business out of his basement, which shortly moved to their garage and included 9 employees.  Jerry and Sandy sold the business to their son in 2002 and moved back to Berlin, where he started Bella by Design.

Currently Bella by Design works with J.P. Luther Company of Berlin and provides Mason’s with screen-printed, engraved and etched items.  Recently, Jerry has added a laser engraver, sand etching, digital shirt printing and diamond engraving.
