Our Program For Wednesday, June 26, 2019

The debunking of President Tony Roehrick. 

This annual program always brings with it lots of good fun as we honor and roast our outgoing president Tony Roehrick.  It is led by the immediate past president, Julia Parranto. Come ready for some serious laughing!

Red to Blue

Dan Balfe was awarded his blue badge by President Tony.

Rotarian of the Year

Casey D’Angelo really stepped up to the plate this year for our club.  First, he took over Sgt.at Arms duties. Then, as in the past, he ran the New Gen Program. That wasn’t enough, apparently, because Casey then took over the monumental task of running our annual fundraiser, Giro Bello! Thanks for all your hard work, Casey! You are more than deserving of this award.

Family Feud Program

President Tony did something new this year for his last official meeting. Given our collective ineptitude, don’t expect the real Family Feud to come calling for Rotarians any time soon. Still, it was lots of fun to see people struggle to remember what we did this Rotary year.  Great idea, President Tony!
