As is our custom, we celebrated our annual Holiday Party on Saturday, December 6, the night after our Annual Business Meeting, during which we elected four members of our Board of Directors for 2026-2027. We had a huge turnout for the party this year, with seventy-seven attendees, including our Rotary Youth Exchange Student, Katri Glader, and two of her RYE host families. We continue to be indebted to Jack and Janet Pirozzi, who have so generously invited us into their lovely home for more than twenty-five years!
Midway through the evening, President Ryan Whittington welcomed everyone and then announced Dick Sant had been elected President-Nominee. Dick will serve as President-Elect as of July 1, 2026 on the new Board and will take office as President on July 1, 2027. The three others elected to serve on the 2026-27 Board are Nancy Battersby, Tim Graham, and Margaret Weed. We are grateful to the four other members who agreed to be on the ballot this year: Becky Blair, Ted Domino, Sue Fletcher, and Miki McKee Koelsch.
