Wasn't that a party? WOW, our Rotary Club is 20 years old and we had a great party. Thanks to all who helped put this together. President Cleone who along with Dave Stone put the slide show together. Patty, Gayle, Cleone and myself had fun going through all those photos.
Gary, you did a fantastic job as MC, kept the night flowing as you always do. AND thank you & Hazel for all the name tags....it worked perfect.
Thanks to Michael for our IT equipment at the door....that makes life so much easier and thanks for taking the photos of everyone.
One thing I am sorry for was that I didn't recognize, Alan Schmelzel, Gayle Carter and Gary Wiggins as Charter Members. I meant to do that and did not......
It was great to see Past Presidents attend: Ron Baker came from the Island, Keith Vernon and of course Gene Vickers who started it all and Honorary Member Bernie & Flora Pregler.
In the end we had 88 people attend.... thanks to Greg Garrison for helping us get the Vancouver Golf Club as our venue. They did a great job.
Thanks to everyone who attended.....it was FUN....
Hugs to all
Linda ;o)
PS. Thanks to PP Gray Giovannetti for the wonderful words you sent....
I hope I didn't forget anyone !!
These are the Charter members still active in our Club.
President Cleone's Thank you...
YAY TEAM!
Thanks everyone for coming out last night. It was a happy chatty celebration with friends where we watched the slide show of smiling faces through the years on the screen and heard about some of our accomplishments.
We have a lot to be proud of whether you just joined or have been in this club that has been happily contributing to our community locally or internationally for 20 years!
I would like to give a special thanks to the committee:
Gary who was Master of Ceremonies
Linda and Gayle for going through alllllll those photographs and who searched out what we could find (where is the capsule???) for the memorabilia table
Patty for going through photographs
Dave Stone for putting together a program with the photographs
Michael Berrisford for of course being there when we needed him and helping with the slide show, tablets and cash box etc
Al Schmelzel for brainstorming
This committee was just an example of a team that we have in our club that makes everything work with a smile!
Thanks!
Cleone
