Dear BBRC Friends,
Oh what a night it was on Saturday, when we filled Bakersfield Country Club and celebrated Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary Club’s 37th Annual Charter Night!
We had quite a few folks surprised by being honored with Paul Harris Fellows in recognition of being the special people they are. Whether it was members of the club, spouses or co-workers, there were quite a few poignant moments throughout the evening (and more than a few tears were shed, too!).
Congratulations to Craig Holland, the 2019-20 Rotarian of the Year! Craig is an inspiration to so many of us, continuing to demonstrate the ideals of Rotary and remaining active in BBRC, even as he has faced his health challenges over the past few years. Having the opportunity to select Rotarian of the Year doesn’t come along every day, and we have SO MANY amazing members. It was a pleasure to present Craig with his award, and to also honor his bride, Carole, with a bouquet of flowers in recognition of her important support role.
Thank you to everyone who attended Charter Night, and kudos to Past President Ron Nelms (and the entire PP team) for creating a very special night!
Remember, we are dark on Wednesday morning, and will instead meet up at Thursday’s All Club Meeting—11:30 at the Crystal Palace!
In Rotary Service,
Cheryl
