It is with much disappointment my first letter to the club is to announce Barbara’s retirement as club secretary effective July 30th .

Barbara has been an integral part of our club for the last 20 years. I have got to know Barbara well over those years both in and outside of Rotary. She is one of the most caring considerate people I have ever known.

All of us who have known Barbara for any length of time will have a story about some unique special gift she gave you or how she helped you with a Rotary project.

I would ask that any of you with a good stories and pictures about Barbara send to Steve Pelletier to share in the High Gear.

Barbara has graciously agreed to stay on and help with finding her replacement.

We all look forward to seeing Barbara for years to come at our social events.

Well I figure that is about enough change for my first week!

I look forward to settling into the weeks to come.

Sincerely,

Matt Weaver
