2013 - 2014 Club President Jan Southall

Assistant Governor Bob Morrow installed the new board of directors for the Rotary year 2013 - 2014 and then gave Jan Southall her President's pin. Jan, in turn, called all directors and chairs to the podium and presented them with pins to formally welcome them to their roles on the board.

Since this is the beginning of a new Rotary year, president Jan treated it like New Year with bubbly (non alcoholic), noise makers and flashy table decorations. In her address she praised the club and its members, noting that we are well respected in town and enjoy each other's company. She said it was healthy to disagree during discussions on deciding and planning events but once decisions were made our club comes together to get things done.

Jan's daughter Jennifer helped put together a brochure showing the board of directors, the president's goals for the year and the proposed budget for 2013 - 2014. Her four main goals are: to support and strengthen membership; to support our major events; to study possible multi-year projects with consideration of adopting one during the year; and, to support and maintain our club commitment to The Rotary Foundation.

She closed the meeting having us toss and catch several balls including a small globe, reminding us that many things go on at one time in the club as we Engage Rotary and Change Lives.
