Then it was Bob’s turn.  He thanked the Club and claimed never to have met a Rotarian that he didn’t like and that he was able to accomplish it all – “through a little help from my friends”.  He assured the Club that he was not leaving Rotary but would be table hopping at meetings to ferret out any suspicious activity, maybe sit at the Old Timers Table and maybe a little ….payback, because “only the good die young and I made the cut!”

Jim Masters read the Proclamation that lauded Bob’s service and declared 26 June 2013 as Robert Annis, Jr. Day.  President Terry Bush presented Bob with the customary Speaker’s gifts, plus a Rotary cap and the news that a generous gift card will be sent.
