NEXT MEETING: July 28, 2019

Demotion!

Next Friday is the occasion of a Rotary tradition, the passing of the gavel as one president retires and another takes his place. For decades this has been called “Demotion”, but those who have shouldered the tasks of club leadership may prefer to think of it as a Promotion—back to life without those responsibilities. It’s in the eyes of the beholder.

We encourage you to attend on Friday and behold the transition, as Jan Brown assumes the role of club president. Don will do the honors of recapping Jerry’s year of club leadership. Should be fun.
