Ian was the Master of Ceremonies and as always, did a terrific job.  He even threw in a couple of pretty decent jokes!

 

     Barney gave his out going Presidents speech and talked a bit about the challenges we've had recently with Covid.  He did say that things went well - the boathouse and Ale Trail were two of the items he mentioned.  He said he enjoyed the year and it was easier than he expected.  He received the new past Presidents gift of a Bud Roworth print given to him by Bob Lasota  

 

     Wayne Anderson was up next with the Governor's remarks.  He thanked the Executive for all the work they did last year.  He also welcomed the new Executive and noted that the acceptance of service was the strength of Rotary

 

     Past President Paul installed the new executive.  He said we were all important!  We'll quote him all next year.

 

     Glynis thanked Paul and spoke about the recent difficulties.  She said it gave us the time to reflect on Rotary.  We are not governmental, political or racist.  We are a neutral group and this is our superpower.  It is why we are able to do our works around the world as well as locally.  She thanked Barney for all his work in the last year and said we will get back to normal gradually and with consensus from all.

 

Congratulations to all and it was wonderful to see each other in person again!

 

Our new President
