One Door Closes and Another Door OpensO
Greg Plante iis now a Past President. At Gregs last meeting as President the club held a Toast and Roast to send Greg off. The interesting part of this toast and roast almost no one had any roast items almost all the speeches were toasts and thank yous for a great job. Greg in his tenure raised the membership from about 14 to almost 50. the run around the lake in his final year has grown to 2500 runners and $100,000 income
The club has added more service projects and assistance work all of the items that make this a very exciting club. This door has closed.
The new door that has opened is our new President Jeff Browne. Jeff starts to his tenure with our July 7th meeting. He has instituted some committee changes and we now have a trivia question to answer at every meeting the trivia winner will win a donation in their name to the Rotary Foundation. We are using the Happy Dollar segment to get more information abut club members with the intent of making the club more personal.
This writer is certain Jeff will make a great president and I am sure the entire club will help him in whatever way they can see the story content got more on Jeff's first meeting
