President's Corner
Greetings Fellow Rotarians,
Wow! Kathy, Matt and the entire committee put together a great nite. The whole program from venue, to food to games and raffles. The work of our members never ceases to amaze me. Thank you all.
Thanks to Matt for holding down the fort in my absence. See you all next week.
YIR,
Mark
Sham-Rockin' On The River
If you weren't at Smuggler's Run on Saturday evening, you missed THE party of year! Sham-Rockin' On The River 2019 was a HUGE success! The Sham-Rockin' committee really hit it out of the park! I'm talking "Reggie Jackson 1971 Tiger Stadium All-Star Game Home Run" out of the park (Google it)! The drinks were flowing. The music was playing. Prizes were being won all evening long. The over-flow crowd was dancing the night away! A shout out goes to Kevin, Randy and the staff at Smuggler's Run. They went out of their way to make sure all of our needs were met. Anyone who didn't have a good time wasn't even trying.
Like all successful events, it takes a dedicated committee, as well as the efforts of many volunteers, to put it all together. First of all, I would like to thank the Sham-Rockin' On The River committee for their hard work in organizing the event. Thank you Rose Angela Gronda, Paulette Dillingham, Valerie Dzagulones, Janet Angellotti, Ray Yee, Dale Malzahn, Kyle Stack, Jean Wloszek, Mike Concessi and Bill Jasman. Your efforts toward this event were beyond compare. Next I would like to thank the volunteers, without whose help throughout the evening there would be no event. Thank you Sue Yee, Barb Malzahn, Malak Taylor, Larry Kearney, Noel Jackson, Debbie Jackson, Dustin Kane, Matt Kane, Tom Dickman, Linda Dickman, Kimberly Mott, Ruth Sebaly, Alyssa Angellotti, Bill Dillingham, volunteers from Monroe Bank & Trust and PNC Bank and many others who I may have forgotten. It's Trenton Rotarians and friends of the Trenton Rotary like yourselves that keep our club at the pinnacle of success. Thank you also to our fearless leader, President Mark Angellotti. The example you showed throughout the process was an inspiration to all. A very special thank you goes out to my cohort in crime, Co-Chair Kathy Kane. Your exceptional leadership, organizational skills, boundless energy and zest to make things the best guided our committee toward the ultimate event. A final thank you to my lovely wife, Jackie. Your creativity added flair to an already exciting event. And your support allows me to be a part of the greatest organization around.
Congratulations Trenton Rotary! And thank you once again for making Sham-Rockin' On The River 2019 the success it was! I can't wait for Sham-Rockin' On The River 2020!
Yours In Rotary,
Matt Hatty
