PROGRAM REVIEW
July 11, 2018
"The Successful Transfer of Leadership"
Lynn Castle
2018-2019 President
Today’s program was the traditional Installation of President Lynn Castle and the Club leadership for 2018-2019.
Past District Governor Chuck Mason thanked Past President Tim Sudela and the Board of Directors for their service and dedication. Chuck then assembled all Past-Presidents in attendance beginning with Charles Locke who served in 1969-1970 to 2017-18 President Tim Sudela, acknowledging the influence each has had, and continues to have, on our Rotary Club. Chuck then led us in song and merriment, as we belted out a specially-written tune in honor of our new club President, Lynn (♪♪♪) Castle.
Lynn presented Tim with his Past President pin while he simultaneously presented her with the President's pin and badge, producing a rousing standing ovation.
President Lynn P. (♪♪♪) Castle then addressed the Club utilizing a PowerPoint presentation. She introduced members to Rotary International President Barry Rassin, sharing a little of his personal background and accomplishments with us. She spoke of the need for each member to “ Be The Inspiration,” focusing this year on several key goals:
increasing our membership;
recruiting females and younger members;
increasing our humanitarian service;
enhancing our public image and awareness; and
contributing to the success of our Club projects.
She briefly reviewed some important dates for the year ahead and closed with a famous quote of Paul Harris, Rotary founder, "Rotary is a microcosm of a world at peace, a model which nations will do well to follow.”
