RC Buffalo Sunrise had a rousing send off, welcome in, and much more on June 18, with 40 attendees at the Saturn Club.
Outgoing President Melanie Rushforth delivered an inspiring summary of our club’s accomplishments and welcomed Paige Mason as our newest Paul Harris Fellow.DG Scott Marcin and DGE Dave Alexander both provided congratulations and helped members focus on the Rotary year ahead.
DG Scott inducted our new president Timothy Priano, who promised an exciting year ahead.
The highlight of the breakfast meeting, even in a sudden burst of rain, was the presentation by our Youth Exchange student, Liliane Guimaraes from Olympia, Brazil. In recounting her experiences as a YE student, Lili shed copious tears of gratitude, and many of her friends and club members shed some tears as well. She was particularly grateful for her host family, Greg and Jill Norton, and the many club members who provided memorable experiences this past year. Lili has been a treat!PHOTOS (L to R):
