Our Program for June 29th, 2010, was the annual changing of the guard, with new president Tom Anderson taking over from past-president Dick Glover. Prior to the changeover, retiring ADG Ross McGlasson detailed the activities at the recent Annual International Rotary Convention, which took place in Montreal, Canada. This event was the third international Rotary convention that Ross has attended.

President Dick gave a short talk about his year as president, after having many Happy Bucks given as testimony to the membership's respect for his leadership this past year. He talked of the STRIVE Program and its success this year and thanked Erik Johnson for his enthusiastic work on the program. The Dictionary Project went well under Steve and Karen Frazier, and the social events were well handled under Terry Roeser's guiding hand.

Dick gave out Certificates of Appreciation to his board members with special words of appreciation to each of them. He then turned the gavel and meeting over to the new president, Tom Anderson.

Tom's first act as president was to give to Dick a plaque on behalf of the membership. He said that he would commit to timely meetings, and, looking at the time, closed the meeting. (Story by Tad Shaw, photo and posting by Steve Frazier)
