Outgoing President Toby Skinner spoke about delight in the metaphor of “filling the basket (life)” with experiences that help you to grow and thus be of greater service to others. She briefly reviewed the year and thanked all the members for the way in which they step up and take on responsibility for Club projects. Following her installation and receipt of the gavel from Toby, Cheryl shared her interest in meeting with every member individually and asked us to think about why we joined Rotary and what areas of service we are passionate about. She hopes we all learn “to gush” and know how to share the Rotary experience. The 2019-20 RI theme is Be The Inspiration. Cheryl’s theme for the Club is Aspire to Inspire. We are off and running on another good Rotary year.
