SECOND WOMAN PRESIDENT DEMOTED
Imy Dulake, the second woman president of Arcadia following in Laura Freedman’s footsteps, was given serious farewell to the office on Friday, June 4, 2010. Prior to Friday’s luncheon, a “set” was arranged for the “Demotion of Imy Dulake, 2009-2010 Arcadia Rotary President. The”Demotion” is Arcadia Rotary’s way of recognizing the outstanding work of the term of its current president.
MC Frank Griffith took over the Podium from Imy. He brought up her “secret” past and then introduced the program and the producer and director Bullet Bob Harbicht. Imy was escorted to the throne to be demoted from her office by the presentation of the inner workings of the Imy Dulake “empire”.
Narrator, Bob Harbicht, told us of a typical day in Imy’s world. Because of her secrets, it was necessary to hire an investigator to check her out before she could be elected to this august position. The investigator relayed an hourly report of her activities from waking to the end of the day. Highlights of the day include breakfast of Pop Tops, Sugar Pops and an assortment of other high calorie breakfast food. Her activities included going to Culver City to take in a homeless dog, the City of Hope where she gave six pints of blood, avoiding a protest, addressing the State legislature, singing folk songs and visiting kids in Burbank.
Imy’s life is one busy whirl. Including President of Rotary, she is a housewife, mother, and realtor, owns an Auntie Annes pretzel store, has a black belt in Karate and works out daily at Arcadia All-Pro.
With her life now unfolding, we were treated to a day in the life of Imy Dulake. First to be introduced was her blonde bombshell secretary (Mimi Hennessey), followed by her faithful assistant (Mike Ojeda). Imy then came into the office to take calls and appointments.(Brian Hall).
We found that Imy had an applicant for a position in her office. His qualifications included purchasing a degree from USC. Next, was an applicant for Auntie Annes, who has a belt in Italian Marital Arts. Then, one of her construction workers came in need of 4 by twos.
Imy’s wealth came from apple polishing every week and then her husband inheriting his uncle’s estate. Others who came into the “office” were a computer salesman, TV producer, Mr. Slick (Dong Chang) and an interpreter for Mr. Slick (Dan Bayer). Finally, a sub for her Karate test came in dressed like Imy, who showed how to slice a fly. (Dave McMonigle).
After all was said and done, Imy we appreciate your work and devotion as this year’s Arcadia Rotary President.
