They say change is good, and we enjoy our annual change. We just came off a great Breakfast Rotary year under the leadership of Past President Cheryl Scott, and looking forward with optimism to the 2020-2021 year. The Broken Yolk was certainly the place to be Wednesday morning. If you were not present at the meeting you missed the perplexed faces when dashing Past President Neil Walker announced newby President Dave Spalinger was going to be absent. Not a good start for those members who braved the morning sun to see President Dave shine. Yet with a gleam in Neil’s eye he was pulling a fast one on us, as our high in the saddle President Dave came trotting into the meeting on a horse…well at least it kinda looked like a horse. Dressed in full Woody costume and to the tune of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”, President Dave was galloping toward the podium as proud as he could be. We all welcomed and showed appreciation for our new president and his entrance as he began his first meeting. While all attending members were relieved that President Dave did not let us down, the new president did not waste time explaining the origins of his nickname “Woody”, and that Neil and Cheryl had felt the nickname suited Dave. President Dave on the other hand, and the good sport that he is said that it was time to transition from the Woody from Toy Story so named from Cheryl, to the real Woody. No sooner that President Dave got off his gallant horse and removed his Toy Story clothes, he put on his utility belt and hard hat displaying the tools of his trade as the owner of a cabinet construction business. Out with the old and in with the new. President Dave we welcome you to your new role as our Breakfast Rotary president. |
to have such a large turnout at my first meeting as president. Thanks to all who showed up in person and on Zoom. It was great to be able to induct new member, Dr. Bani Singh and it looks like we have another new member coming soon. We have the greatest club so don't be afraid to ask your friends and colleagues to visit us. The "Woody Blocks" worked out better than I thought. Ken, Michele and Harry had a marathon game going to the point where I thought Kathy was going to have to serve them lunch. Ken finally pulled it out in the end, but he did have to get a ladder to reach the top (just kidding). Thank you for allowing me to be your president and I am looking forward to a fun year! See you Wednesday with your "Bright Colored" mask.
