Thank you for the honor of serving as your President this past year. I am lucky to join the long line of outstanding BBRC Past Presidents. We are all fortunate to have Denise Haynes as our President starting TOMORROW! (Just take a deep breath Denise, before you know it you will be giving Ron Nelms good wishes.)
The photos the First Laddie took at the RI Convention and my Step Down are in the photo albums linked below. Enjoy! Most of the convention photos are from a "field trip" your intrepid BBRC attendees took with the BREW Fellowship group. (Beers Rotarians Enjoy Worldwide). Past Pres Jackie Maxwell is a member of this group and let us in on the opportunity to fellowship with like-minded Rotarians and friends. There was also a whiskey fellowship group. We were concerned if we hung out with that group too long we'd never make it to a General Session at the Convention. Of course there is also a Wine Fellowship - Past Pres Mike Stepanovich can brief you on that one.
Photos and awards from the District Governor Nick's step down which held June 24 at the Los Robles Greens in Thousand Oaks are available on the home page of the District website. (www.rotarydistrict5240.org). BBRC earned commendations for all the Avenues of Service and the Gold Medal status from the District. Congrats to all!
Have a safe and safe Independence Day! See you July 12 at President Denise's First Meeting!
