Sarah Bouissou with President Bill Wyman
I had the pleasure of attending Ridgefield Rotary Club’s annual Citizen of the Year event tonight at the Silver Spring Country Club. This was an excellent event at a fabulous venue with warm Rotary fellowship.
This year Sarah Bouissou was recognized as the 2013 Citizen of the Year in recognition for her many years of service to the Ridgefield community. Sarah and her husband, Bernard, own Bernard’s Restaurant in Ridgefield which is one of Zagat’s top 10 restaurants in Connecticut.
President Bill did a great job running a very uplifting program to honor Sarah. Numerous friends, associates and relatives paid their respects to Sarah in various ways.
This event is a long standing tradition for the Ridgefield Rotary Club and the Ridgefield community. About a dozen past recipients going back as far as 1972 were in attendance.
For me it was especially nice to meet many of the Ridgefield Rotarian’s for the very first time.
President Bill has had a bang up year leading his club. Besides all the successful projects that the club has completed they picked up many awards of recognition at the District Conference last month. Bill will pass the gavel to Joe Kreitz’s very capable hands on June 26th.
I am looking forward to attending their regular meetings.
Rick,
It was great having you share last night with us. Your leadership and commitment to Rotary will make your year outstanding.
Would you please send me a copy of the picture that you used in the blog. I would like to included it in today’s Ridgerunner.
Good luck on your year. The more that I see you the more sure I am that it will be a good one!
Yours in Rotary Service,
Bill Wyman 203.241.5949
Rick, no need to forward the picture I was able to get it. Again, thanks for being part of our celebration.
Bill
