In an historic first for our 97 year old club, three recent Presidents will share presidential duties and responsibilities this year. From left to right, Lisa Shanko, Martha Mauser, and Cushing Titcomb have agreed to combine their experience and passion for Rotary during a year of unique challenges. Each will lead our club for four months.
Our year began on July 1 with Lisa at the helm until the end of October. On November 1, Cushing will step into the chair for the next four months, through February 28. On March 1, Martha will carry the leadership baton for the bell lap until the end of the Rotary year on June 30. During this time, President Elect Clint Dalton, a second-generation Rotarian, will prepare to take the reins next July 1 for 2021-22.
The remaining 2020-21 club executives are, Dr. Doug Shealy, Vice President Rotary Foundation; Ted Garside, Treasurer; and Mary Foote-Hill, Secretary. Cindy Quinn is the Immediate Past President, a Director, and the editor of our weekly newsletter, The Latchstring. Filling out the Board of Directors are Paula Bishop, George Gray, Tony Marino, Julie Nelson, Elaine Richter, and Ann Witzig. Ray Katzen serves as Assistant Secretary and web administrator.
Due to the pandemic, our traditional gavel-passing event was virtual, as are our weekly meetings. Although not all of our living Past Presidents could join us, we are fortunate that many did thanks to virtual technology.
