This week, our club celebrated the Changing of the Guard, a significant event that marks the start of a new year and symbolizes the continuity of our club's mission. 

Thank you to Wendy Bagley for her outstanding dedication and service as our president this past year. Your commitment and passion have not only made a significant impact on our community and our club but have also set a high standard for future leaders. Your leadership has been truly inspiring, and we appreciate all your hard work and the positive changes you have brought.

We want to take a moment and extend a warm welcome to Fred Strader, our new club president. We look forward to his vision and guidance, particularly his plans to support our community, as we continue our mission of service above self. Fred, we want you to know that we are entirely behind you, excited to support you, and confident in our joint ability to achieve tremendous success for our club and community. 

We'd also like to thank Mike and Betsey Pelczar for generously allowing us to use their beautiful barn for our ceremony. Our club had a memorable evening celebrating Wendy & Fred surrounded by delicious food from Rossi's in a room filled with our dedicated members and their loved ones. We couldn't have done it without your support and participation. Your presence and contributions made the event truly special. Thank you all.
