Rotary Year End Handover Evening

Handover meeting

The last meeting of the Rotary year 2000-1 was, as the Americans call it, the kick-out meeting. The outgoing President hands over to the incoming President. Yvette Asscher and Brian McQuade had organised a sparkling wine tasting

Wines for the tasting

Dick handed over the chain of office to incoming President Yvette Asscher and rang the bell for the last time.

President Dick hands over to Yvette 

Yvette had asked for a gavel and Lawrence ‘the creep' Collins made an excellent example in fine wood blotting his copy book by having a picture of the Past President as ‘bulls-eye'

Dick thanked the Club for giving him the opportunity to serve as President and said how much he had enjoyed the year.

Dick's celebration cake

A surprise cake arrived at the end of the evening—a Fender Stratocaster iced in authentic candy pink..

 

We toasted “Rotary the World over” and looked forward to an even more interesting and fun-packed year, 2001-2
