As this will be my last meeting as your president I want to thank all of you who supported me. At times it wasn't easy, but we accomplished a lot and it turned out to be a great year, which marked the 50th anniversary of our Rotary Club of Moncton West & Riverview.
• A first complete year with regular meetings in person, and no meeting was missed.
• The revival of our core committees "Foundation" (Lisa Gallagher), "International" (Sherry Mourant) and "Public Image" (Karla McLean)
• Plus, we enjoyed our Youth Exchange program again.
• Three successful fundraisers with more than $160,000 in profit for charity.
• Fun and engaging social activities. Everybody was happy to get out again. ... Golf / Lobster Party / Car Rally / Christmas Party / St Patrick's Day / Whiskey tasting / Guess who is coming for dinner ...
• A really classy charter day event - our meeting on January 27th - with story telling and memories, which many had commented on that they could have gone on for a lot longer (listening and telling). This was a very inspiring meeting, not only for our younger members.
• A 50th Anniversary Gala event with outstanding comedian James Mullinger and The Mellotones. More than 230 guests attended. • Exceptional community involvement with many volunteer hours at our schools and in support of the recycling program for BGC Riverview.
A special THANK YOU goes to the Executive and the Board Members, as well as to all the Committee Chairs. You put in a lot of time and you all did a stellar job. It was energizing to see the way you produced results and a privilege to work with you.
Dear Rotarians!
I am looking forward to seeing you all on Friday.
