Our Rotary year will come to an end on June 30th, as will my term as club president.  Having served once before in this capacity 15 years ago, I welcomed the opportunity to give it another go - this time as a relaxed retiree rather than the hyper-busy working mother of two that I was last time around.  It has been a fun year but I look forward to putting the president's gavel in the very capable hands of incoming president Kent Peterson come July 1!  Although I can take no credit for it, one key highlight of our year has been the addition of six new members, all of whom have added greatly to the energy and culture of our club.  Another highlight of the year has been the busy activity of hosting inbound exchange student Jiui Yoon of South Korea.  This very social and energetic young woman has kept us on our toes through her participation in numerous activities at school and across the district.  It has also been a busy year of preparing for our new fundraiser to be held in August.  We've had a great team of folks working hard at the many details involved in putting on this beer tasting event which we hope will become the first of many annual successes.  These folks have had to work through a number of challenges in figuring out what is needed in so many areas - product, pricing, security, publicity, etc....
 
My sincerest thanks to all who have worked hard to make this a successful Rotary year!
