On a beautiful summer’s night in leafy Pinafore Park, three Club Boards were inducted as a start to the new Rotary year.  To District Governor Diane Chantler fell the honour of administering the oath of office to Presidents and Boards of the Rotary Clubs of St. Thomas and Aylmer and the Interact Club of St. Thomas.  There was no change in the winning line-up of the St. Thomas Rotary Club, but the Aylmer Rotary Club will have as its President, Bob Warnock, with Barb Warnock in charge of Vocational Service, Mary Morin taking care of International Service and Dave Jeffreys as Treasurer.  The Interact Club’s new President is Nicholas (Nick) Chabot.  His board is comprised of Mary McCaulley (President-Elect), Sarah Pepper (Treasurer), and Nathaniel Pepper (Secretary).  
The Interact Club is taking a break from projects this summer, but you can be sure that all systems will be “Go, Go, Go” once the fall arrives.  For his part, Aylmer President Bob Warnock is looking forward to working with area Clubs in the year ahead.  St. Thomas Rotary Club President Nancy Lovelock said that she too was looking ahead to the new Rotary year.  If the successes of the past year are any indication, there is no doubt that Clubs in this part of the Rotary world will be doing all they can in 2016-17 to serve humanity.
