Last week we ended one Rotary Year and began another and said a heartfelt thank you to all those who made this past year a very productive one for Wayzata Rotary. Mark Lauffenburger received a standing ovation for his role at the helm of the club, and was presented with a wall plaque gavel and a Past President Pin by incoming President Angela Bernhardt. Mark presented his Outstanding Service Awards, and Program Chairs Angela Bernhardt (outgoing) and Lisa Fraga (incoming Chair with JR Boisclair) presented the Program Host Awards for 2015-16. Congratulations to all and thank you for a wonderful year.
