And the Gavel Changes Hands for The 87th Time.

Meet Your New Rotary Club of Lexington President for 2017-2018, Lori Moresco.

 
Lori was joined by many family members. (Sister & Brother here).
It was a wicked awesome day weather-wise (according to PP Spencer) when 22 Lexington Rotarians, one visiting Rotarian and ten guests met for the final meeting of Pres. Susan’s year. The buffet table consisted of delicious roast sirloin, mashed potatoes. veggies, Caesars salad and an assortment of cold cuts.
 
 
The meeting was called to order by Pres. Susan and after the pledge by PP Domenic., one verse of America by Charlie V., and the invocation by PP Don S., fines and happy dollars were in order. Among many contributions, PP Jim S. paid happy dollars to celebrate his attendance for the first time in weeks and also for Pres. Susan’s excellent year, PP Frank S. contributed for missing last week’s meeting when Paul Harris Fellow Awards were made to many Lexington Rotarians thanks to PP Doug.  District Governor Elect Dave G. made a donation for what we did last week with the PHF awards, PP Dave S. made a contribution for missing all our meetings since he moved to Wellesley.
 
Pres. Susan then recapped the highlights of her year, listing all of the things we did and the programs we supported:
  • Senior Bar-B=Q s at the three senior housing centers
  • Veteran’s Day celebrations in Bedford with the Concord Club
  • Toys for Tots at Christmas
  • Polar Plunge in February
  • Donations to LEXHAB in memory of PP Dave E. and the Lexington Fire Dept.
  • Launching of an Interact Club at Minuteman High School.
She then presented each of her outgoing board members with appreciation gifts.
