Past President Matt Weaver, chair of the Demotion Committee Brian Cogbill M.C. the eagerly awaited demotion. For the membership, the demotion is looked forward to as a fun meeting. For the Presdient perhaps not as eagerly but still as a signal of the end of their Rotary year. Brian dressed up in a suit proved to the membership that he took his responsibility seriously. With gavel in hand he eventually hushed Mimi into demotion submission.
Brian invited Bob Harbicht up to reprise his demotion role explaining to us more of Mimi’s personal history that we knew little of (read: “none and mostly made-up!”). As always, the membership enjoyed his creative humor.
Outgoing ASUD Director, Joel Shawn and incoming Director David Vanasdall took over the demotion to explain that close examination of the records showed the Mimi never really graduated high school despite her higher credentials. They felt it appropriate after thorough examination to re-graduate her with a G.E.D. Mimi dressed in cap and gown received her recognition and was blessed her with a bottle of Hennessy cognac.
