Jaime Stine thanked the club for a wonderful year. She is very appreciative of the good attendance during COVID-19 online and now that we are have hybrid meetings. She hopes the club will continue to successfully rebound.
One of Jaime’s goals over the year was to figure out a way to establish hybrid meetings. Thanks to the pandemic, this goal was successfully accomplished.
Jaime inducted Steve Morgan as the club’s new president. She presented him with his new gavel.
New President Steve noted that the Rotary International president this year is Shekhar Mahta and the theme is Serve to Change Lives.
While Steve is happy the club is back meeting, attendance is still fairly low and he hopes to work on that.
Projects are also changing for the club, as Wyoming changes as well. We need to change our approach to suicide prevention and take better care of our home club.
