It was a memorable evening and an opportunity to honour and thank President Jackie for her dedicated service over the past year. It was also a fun event as we chatted with members and guests to the sounds of James Carter’s tunes and enjoyed some great food. We were also treated to a comical Magic Show, in keeping with this year’s theme, by Show Biz Team Building’s Anthony Linden. Several “volunteer” Rotarians assisted with the magic tricks.
Past President Oksana was our M.C. She spoke about Jackie’s high energy, her belief in Rotary’s mission and how she has worked tirelessly to facilitate the accomplishment of the Club’s goals and to make the meetings productive and enjoyable, focusing on the 5 factors of the Club experience. Of particular note was her engagement of the members through interviewing 52 members and following through on the results of a club survey.
Jackie spoke to us about the highlights of the past year and all that the club has accomplished, along with some memorable photos. She thanked a number of individuals who had particularly helped her and the club membership for their support and commitment. She also thanked her family for their support. Jackie’s two daughters were in attendance. She presented the Complin cup to Past President Oksana for all of her efforts to ensure a smooth transition to the President’s role and her help throughout the Rotary year. Congratulations Oksana! Well deserved.
Thank you, Jackie, for your great leadership this past year!
