Step Down/Step Up Celebration

And a Great Time Was Had by All

by Robin Loving

​We have all stepped up and down from various responsibilities in our lives, but seldom with as much fun as we all had at our Step-Up/Step-Down party in gratitude for Lee Carter’s most recent presidency and Joe Ruffino’s current presidency.
 
Lee set the tone by giving Joe a tiny wooden gavel, saying with what we all knew was a little exaggeration, “This is all you’ll need to govern this year, for your team will handle the rest!”
 
Joe’s outstanding team includes an indefatigable vice president of Community Service, Andrea Spessard; the most well-connected person anyone knows in San Miguel, Vice President of Club Services Ron Lenox; six-year treasury veteran Treasurer Melody Smith; well proven Vice President of Membership Peter Fay; detail-loving Secretary Eddie Colbeth; Sergeant-at-Arms Robin Loving; and the host of the party, President-Elect Dorothy Wallstein.

“Great food, fun and fellowship,” said President Joe. “I believe there isn't anything this Club isn't capable of. The love and dedication that the membership has for the
community and one another is amazing! It makes me proud and honored to belong,” he
concluded.

Watch for more opportunities to revel in Rotary coming up!
