The passing of the ceremonial gown took place at this week's meeting. Outgoing President Larry robed incoming President Scott and the new executive was sworn in. Several years ago, the ceremonial gown was a gift from our partner club, Kumasi-East in Ghana.
We are looking forward to an eventful and exciting Rotary year and give thanks to those who served on the executive this past year and to those who have agreed to serve for the coming year.
Our club remains small but mighty; we donated over $22,000 to the community for a variety of humanitarian causes and $10,000 to complete our pledge to the Benson Centre. We continue our undertaking of a project in Ghana as well as raising money to help end Polio worldwide. Once again we look forward to bringing home the ceremonial walking stick for our contributions to the Rotary Foundation Walk.
Way to go club members! Each of you are valued for the contributions you make and for the service above self you so valiantly display.
