A group of 32 gathered at the West Haven Golf Club for our year end changeover event. Guests included our new AG Kathleen Murphy and her husband Harry Joosten, outgoing AG Sue Storie and her husband Rick and Rotarian Madu Bishnu (friend of Tom and Pat) from Calcutta, India. Members introduced their spouses. 

 

Doug took a few moments to review this past year with him as president. He thanked the club for a successful year with a great number of projects and fundraisers. The golf tourney last year gleaned about $18,500 which was added to the fundraiser coffers with Colin’s computer project and the East Coast Kitchen Party. These funds enabled us to continue with the dictionary project, help support the Oakbotics team, the TVCC Splinting 

and Casting program, help support the local diabetes camp run by Western students and to fulfill our commitment to the Rotary Rink maintenance. And don’t forget Margaret’s purple garden to support polio!! As always our bursary and youth programs were also funded to help encourage the leaders of tomorrow. On the international scene we helped fund projects in Mexico, the Philippines and Burundi. All in all a very successful year. Many thanks to Doug for his hours of dedication not only to the club but he is still is involved at the District 6330 level. Thanks also to Sue Storie for 3 three years as AG for our area.  Sue is moving on at the district level  to fill another job. Good luck Sue!
