Don's Top Ten List as parting comments regarding his year and final hour as York East Club President, July 2014-July 2015:
10.  I wish to thank Tom Pokopec for another incredible job this year as the head of our golf tournament.
 9.  I wish that Cathy Bene had been my press secretary when I ran for student council President in high school.....of course, Cathy would have only been 2 years old at the time, so it probably wouldn't have helped.
 8.  I wish to thank the Foundation Committee headed by Jim Walters.
         - $12,800 in Foundation Giving this year
         - 20 Paul Harris Pins awarded.
 7.  I wish we had ohmlets every Tuesday morning for Morrie Hooper
         ....and wish we could find a stink-proof suit for John Shriver to wear
              when had ohmlets.
 6.  I wish to thank the Service Projects Committee headed by Joanne Bankos for all of the successful projects this year:  Safety Town, Our Daily Bread,   RYLA, Students of the Month, Road Clean-Up and York East Charity Golf Tournament.
 
 
5.  I wish to thank the Club Administration Committee for setting up the room each week, the summer and Christmas socials, and most of all the terrific speakers this year.
4.  I wish to thank the Membership  Committee headed by Roger Dick for bringing in 7 new members this year.
3.  I wish to thank my Officers and Directors who made this year such a success: Officers: Linda Gorter, Greg Kern, Diane Yocum and Angie Hartman.  Directors:  Joanne Bankos, Cathy Bene, Roger Dick, Tom Pokopec, John Shriver, Connie Spark, Jim Tanzola, Jim Walters, Elizabeth Wolf and Charles Wurster.
2.  I wish to quiet all the naysayers who questioned the existence of my finely chisseled physique, and in an effort to quiet their skeptism, (see photo)
1.  I wish to thank York- East.
 
 
Quite frankly Don, we of York-East thank you for the fine President that you've been, for all efforts and excellent humor at the podium.  It was you who enabled us all to shine and to smile.And while you're stepping down, you're not stepping out.  And.... We'd like to know the secret to your fine physique.
