How did our club change people’s lives in 2019-20? How did we adjust to the challenges posed by the coronavirus? What did our committees accomplish and who was involved? How did the club do in reaching its goals for the year?
 

These and other subjects are covered in the club’s annual report, which was recently issued. The eight-page report, prepared by 2019-20 President John Butterfield, is organized around eight goal areas. Each area highlights successes and set backs that occurred during this unusual and challenging year, which saw the suspension of in-person meetings and events and the use of Zoom and Microsoft Teams video-conferencing software.
 

The 2019-20 year was special in many ways. It marked the 45th anniversary of the club’s founding and the recognition of five of the organization’s 35 charter members. “While it was a year full of celebration and progress, it was also one of disappointment and sadness,” says John in the introduction to the report.
 

Make sure to read the tribute to club leader Bill Shantz, who passed away in June, and the contributions of this year’s award recipients Jim Farmer, Rotarian of the Year, and Christie Bruffy, Rookie of the Year. Also check out the list of those who provided leadership during the year, including officers, board members and committee and project chairpersons. Many of the speakers at in-person and virtual meetings are also highlighted.
