After much planning, our long awaited 100 Years of Service Celebration took place on Saturday evening, and it was a huge success! We showcased some of the classic cars along with the gorgeous 2021 C8 Corvette Stingray. We had a wonderful cocktail hour with lots of mingling, laughter, fellowship, and viewing many old time photos and articles on the Club. Thank you Charlotte Harris for all your efforts to bring this history to the present. We then walked into the main ballroom for the sit down dinner. The festivities started with a presentation of colors by the Honor Guard from Davis Monthan and an Inspiration from Rabbi Stephanie Aaron. We had fun and excitement during the live auction with guests duking it out to win their prize. A big shout out to Ken Light and Jeanne Zetah for taking on this huge task. We all watched 100 Years of our Club's history in a fabulous video put together by Rick Rose and Film Creations. We listened to marvelous speeches from our Centennial Co-Presidents, Jen Hoffman and Mark Irvin, and the Chairman of the Centennial Committee, Jim Lubinski. Our MC, Dan Marries led us in singing Happy Birthday to the Rotary Club of Tucson as the cake was being rolled out. The evening was just what we all had been preparing for over these many, many months. Aaaaah yes, SUCCESS! A huge thank you to all those that put so much time and effort into this extraordinary event. A big shout out to Lee Olitzky for all the coordination and to Lisa Fogle for the decorations. If you were in attendance, you were wowed by her talents as the decor depicted exactly what our club has been striving for over the years, LITERACY FOR THE CHILDREN of our Tucson Community.
Great job everyone and Happy 100 Years to the Rotary Club of Tucson!!!! Thanks to the Switcher Studio Team, if you were unable to attend this very special evening, you can view the event on our YouTube Channel.
