The Love Presidency with Woody Love
Our meeting on June 26th was the annual “Changing of the Guard”. As we all know, Rotary Clubs change presidents and boards on July 1st of each year, and the districts and international officers are all serving annual terms that end on the 30th of June. So all of Rotary is “under new management” since our last meeting.
In our case, President Woody spent his last meeting as president talking about his board and the work they did for him and for us. Some of the present board will continue to serve under Tim Litfin. The list of new board members is on the last page of the bulletin.
Special mention was made of the service of Dean Friesen. Dean has been the club treasurer for longer than most members can remember. He has handled billings, payments, taxes and other filings for years with accuracy and care. Dean received two awards from Woody; one of the awards was recognition from the club for his service, and the other was a “Service Above Self Award” from District 5950. Our new club treasurer will be Jim Olds.
Woody ended his comments, and turned the club’s gavel over to incoming president Tim Litfin. Tim presented an award recognizing Woody’s service as president of the club. During Happy Bucks, many members commented on the quality of the year and the excellent job Woody had done.
Tim’s second act was to check his watch, and ring the bell. He says he wants to have as good an “On Time Record” as Woody had, closing meetings by the one o’clock deadline.
