Passing The Gavel 2018

The June 27th meeting was jam packed with fellowship and sisterhood as we shared heartfelt best wishes with Betsey White and Rick Boyd, celebrated The Year Of The Quinn, and heralded in a new line-up of officers and directors led by incoming President Bob Moulton. Betsey was one of the first two women inducted into the Milford Rotary Club in 1991. Over the years, she has served the Club in many capacities including being our first female President. While we regret her retirement, the Club has proudly named Betsey an Honorary Member. Rick Boyd graciously visited the club to share his news. Due to family and business commitments that have him traveling each week, Rick, a past President, has elected to resign his Rotary membership. We will miss Rick especially at the annual swim meet!
