New President, Rotarian of the year

NEW PRESIDENT

   On Monday evening, June 22nd, the Rotary Club of Sierra Vista held an installation dinner at the Mesquite Tree restaurant.  This gala event was well-attended with great food and drink. We were honored by having the Rotary District Governor Elect (soon to be District Governor) Frank Presson in attendance to swear in the new president and her new board of directors and assisting officers.

   Past president Grant Hays served as the MC and after the swearing in ceremony, turned his Ceremonial gavel over to Emily Scherrer, the newly sworn in club president.  Emily will serve from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016, which is the Rotary Year.

   The other officers and directors were then sworn in by Mr. Presson.

   Les Orchekowsky was named Rotarian of the Year.  He was given a plaque and a standing ovation for his great involvement with so many Rotary events during the past year. Les was also instrumental in arranging this installation dinner.
