Program: Installation of New Officers
Bob thanked the club for the privelage of serving as President. The club received a citation for its accomplishments which included an increase in new membership - an accomplishment few clubs can claim. Bob gave out certificates of appreciation to a number of members for their contributions in the course of his year as president. Gerri Lewis, the Assistant District Governor then began the installation with a few words about Rotary. Rotary is a force for good in the world and so much more can be accomplished as a group than as individuals. Following the installation of officers, Keith Wescovich, our President gave a brief acceptance saying he appreciates the confidence the club has put in him and looks forward to a great year.
