On Tuesday night, Ipswich-Rowley Rotarians turned out in force in the Danversport ballroom to cheer on our incoming President, George Gray, and continuing Assistant Governor Clint Dalton. Anne Lewis, our once and future Assistant Governor from the Rockport club, also was on hand. Along the way, we were introduced to the fun and excitement of Bollywood dancing. Unfortunately, our table was not quite large enough to accommodate everyone, so a few members were scattered about the room, including Christina and Keith Harris who were among those honored by Governor Tom Hankard for exceptional leadership and service to youth. Sitting at the head table with Joan Arsenault was Andrea Lecroix.
Altogether, 15 members were in attendance. Many were seated at the packed Ipswich-Rowley table, including President George Gray and his wife Marcia, Brian and Julie Nelson, Clint Dalton, Martha Mauser, Ann Witzig, Paula Bishop, Lisa Melkonian, Lisa Shanko, and Bob Wicks.
Among the highlights of the evening, Past District Governor Joan inducted our new Governor, Pooja Singla who in turn swore in the Presidents and Assistant Governors. Outgoing Governor Tom was honored with several awards. A lineup of attending Past District Governors passed the gavel to incoming Governor Pooja. Serving this year with George but unable to attend is Doug Shealy.
Attached are more photos from the event taken by Brian Nelson and Bob Wicks.
