The Annual Change-Over Picnic was planned to be held at McKinney Park in Corning. Mother Nature had other plans sending smoke from the Canadian wildfires to add atmosphere to the event. A change in venue to the Fellowship Hall at First Presbyterian Church was welcome relief for the picnickers. Thank you, First Presbyterian Church and Pastor Jeff Ugoretz for providing your facilities on such a short notice!
Thirty-five Rotarians and their guests enjoyed an excellent repast provided by Johnny Spaulding and Katy from Corning Catering. And smoke was not one of the flavorings! President Stu Sammis crowed about the wonderful activities accomplished by individuals and members of this club. The full list is shown below. An experience of a lifetime was how Stu described his year. A standing ovation from the audience saluted St as he took his last bow by passing a president's pin over to Dale Wexell.
As the new president, Dale gave his inaugural speech outlining the direction the club will be taking this coming year. It promises to be a year of continuing change and activities always keeping the Four Way Test in mind. Welcome, President Dale!
