Changeover Dinner 2016

Posted by Chuck Chase
 
All we can say is that if you were not able to attend this year's Changeover Dinner at Rhonda and Bob's home, you missed one heck of a party! The weather was picture perfect, the crowd was awesome, the food was delicious and the location - superb! Thanks to the Gage's for hosting this memorable event! Thanks to everyone who helped set up and tear down and brought food. Thanks also to DG Sue and PDG Bruce Goldsen for attending what must have been a string of inductions for clubs around this district! Not only did they recently arrive back from the International Convention in Seoul, the Meet the Governor Night in Harrow as well as several club induction ceremonies across this district, they were at ours and that was VERY SPECIAL indeed.
 
I am attaching a couple of collages of our event last Thursday evening, June 30. It was a great evening with AM Club members and congrats to all who were selected and received very deserving awards that evening. (See collages for more on this). Thanks to Immediate Past President, Rod, and his board and officers for a great year. It will be one that we'll yet capitalize on this coming year. We look forward to our two newest board members each serving 3-year terms , Kevin Marti and Greg Adams who will be part of their very first board meeting next week, July 7.
 
Thanks to Assistant Governor, Mary Murray, who served as emcee for the evening, to Mark for securing a piano, to Nancy Herr for her accompaniment and to Mike Herr for the sound equipment. Thanks to my wife, Linda, Bob Gordon and Dave Maxwell for taking photos of the afternoon's proceedings.
 
We should be very proud of our accomplishments as clubs in District 6400 this past year, of DG Sue from the AM Club, of our district 6400 and the folks who are the driving force behind it, of RI in general who do so much good in this world. Be sure and visit District 6400's new website at www.rotary6400.org - it is really impressive.
 
At our first club meeting of the new year next week, we'll have some exciting news to present along with a presentation on the Fluency Friends Program this past school year. Remember to bring a guest to lunch and share more about what our clubs are doing to SERVE HUMANITY while FOLLOWING OUR HEARTS in our community and around the world. Here's to another great year!!!! Thanks to each and everyone in advance for your commitment and efforts in 2016-17!!
