Bob Galan is installed as President of Westport Sunrise Rotary

Westport Sunrise held their annual passing of the gavel as an informal changeover party at Rick & Francoise Jaffe’s home last night. It was a perfect evening for the event with great weather, fabulous fellowship and a sizable turnout.

Outgoing Club President Steve Violette recapped the many club successes over the past year and gave incoming President Bob Galan some words of encouragement. The club members congratulated Steve on the fabulous year that he had as president. President Bob gave a brief talk on the year ahead.

It was a pleasure being part of this event and having the opportunity to visit with such a wonderful group of Rotarians and family members.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Westport Sunrise Rotary Club (WSR) this morning for their breakfast meeting. Not only did I experience a welcome fellowship from all of their members but they bestowed many yellow ducks and a yellow duck carrying bag on me (photo).

The WSR is a very active club and well organized club that is growing their membership in leaps and bounds and doing amazing things in the community and the world.

The club has had a great year under President Steve Violette’s leadership. They are currently getting ready for their major fundraiser; The Great Duck Race on June 22nd.

WSR plans to celebrate their 25th anniversary this coming year during incoming President Bob Galan’s term.

WSR has many of it’s members involved in key D7980 leadership positions for many years.
