On Wednesday June 26th the club conducted its changeover picnic at Gravino Park. President Leslie, leading her last meeting, had Sophia Clement lead the Pledge of Allegiance after which she led the club in the National Anthem as well. (Such a shy kid!) After a great pot luck dinner with hots and burgers cooked by Bob Yost and Mark Clement, awards were handed out.
Mark Clement gave this year’s Rotarian of the Year Award to a very deserving Marie Fessler
Jim Bush gave out this year’s Margaret Brooks Distinguished Award to our own Anne Morrell for all the years of service to Rotary and our community.
Bob and Dianne Sloan were thrilled to give 2 Paul Harris Awards to Bill and Marya Doyle for their Green Angels Project that has helped so many Wayne County residents in need.
Leslie then brought her President’s year to a close with different Rotarians reading quotes from former Interact Club members about volunteering. She then thanked Rotarians for all the work this year and handed the gavel to new President Maurina Schmidt. Maurina then handed Bob Yost his President Elect Pin.
50-50 winners were Kim Brooks and Bob Yost (who gave his winnings to Nacho)
The next meeting will be at the Legion on July 10th.
Editorial privilege here: Let’s hope we have more members attend than attended the June 19th meeting…a RECORD BREAKING (Not to the good) 10!!!!! C’mon club. We can do better
