. . . . . New District Governor Gordon Owens Kicks off the New Year

Passing of the Gavel
It was a bittersweet moment when our 2023-24 President Doug Tozzi ended his year and passed the gavel to incoming President Dudley Larus. This is traditionally a time to reflect on our accomplishments and all the work that went into the year, and certainly a time to thank President Tozzi for his commitment to the club. We remembered service projects like the very successful MLK Service Day, the fundraiser at the Lost Druid Brewery, many Thirsty Thursday social events and so much more. We also welcomed the new President-Elect Alison Weissinger.
At the meeting incoming president Dudley Larus reviewed three areas for the new year:
1. Gov. Gordon Owens's challenges for each club for the new year
2. The new president’s goals for the coming year.
3. The club satisfaction survey results
