Rotary ends another great year
 |
| Braving a cool, misty day, nearly two dozen Rotarians celebrated another successful year at Twin Rivers Resort Friday, June 17. That's new president Wilma DeVore smiling in the foreground! |
Milling around the snack tables, the troops were anticipating the highlight of the day...ARRIVAL OF THE FOOD!
Ron had cooked up some smoked pork, fresh vegetables, roasted potatoes, and fresh rolls for sandwiches.
The outgoing Board of Directors was presented with framed certificates of appreciation. Rotarians were also recognized for their role in serving Rotary’s mission of “Service Above Self” – Clarence Jones for chairing the 2010 KRR, Linda Alt and Greg Johnson for their work in delivering the CommUNITY Breakfast and Silent Auction event to be held again this year on 9/17, Becky Calderone for her work in chairing both the 2010 and 2011 Yard Sales, Mark McInnes for coordinating both the 2010 and 2011 WaCanId Bike Rides, Lisa Holmes and Wilma DeVore for co-chairing the Friendship Tour and for Lisa’s work in preparing and distributing the food for the exchange students dinner on June 1 and the breakfast at the Wildlife Refuge June 2, Norm Braatz for his work on scholarships and for the dessert social, Dave McIntosh for serving the Rotary Club as Youth Exchange Officer (see his selection as 'Rotarian of the Year'), and Ron Sukenik for his inquiring mind, the preparation of the food for the end of year dinner, for his “bird-dogging” of so many of the activities of Rotary, and especially for coordinating the SWISH 3-on-3 basketball tournament assumed by Rotary in 2011.
Wilma introduced the new Board of Directors and handed out lapel pins for each of the officers and committee chairs. She thanked the current president and introduced her successor, Greg Johnson, who will assume the presidential office on July 1, 2012.
