After visiting with Rotarians and their spouses and families upon arrival everyone sat down to enjoy a delicious meal catered by Pearl Street Pizza, then the formal festivities began. We heard from outgoing President Eddie about his time as President and how he was grateful for the support of the group as a whole and he had some special remarks about those that helped to shape his time as President.

From there incoming President Caroline Earle said a few words about her upcoming tenure and excitement about what is to come in the next year. She also took a moment to recognize each new committee chair and what their role will be in the upcoming year.

The evening ended with a raffle drawing, where the winning tickets got to pick one of the centerpieces on the tables to take home and cake! Incoming President Caroline did the honors of cutting the cake into generous servings for all to enjoy.
