Celebrating the end of the Rotary Year and Looking to the New Year

There were a number of celebratory activities that happened at this meeting.

We honored past club president Ed Stielstra for his service to Rotary over the years. The club presented Ed with a Paul Harris award to continue the service work of Rotary. Paul Harris was the founder of Rotary and the award signifies a gift to the Rotary Foundation.

Outgoing president Elizabeth Giddings turned over the gavel to 2023/2024 president Kathy DeVries. The new Rotary Theme "Create Hope in the World" was introduced.

Paul Bowles became the newest member of our Rotary Club.

Incoming president Kathy was awarded a Paul Harris by Gary and Donna Bogle in recognition of her international work. Her husband Scott was with her.
