Incoming President David Freeman pinning Past President Otis Jones
|
Held poolside at the home of David and Nina E. Freeman, the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville’s Year-End Celebration honored the outgoing Club President, Otis Jones, and welcomed the incoming one, David H. Freeman. Two special guests attended the festivities on June 12th, Gary and Irene Moore, from Rockdale County. Gary is the incoming (July 2008-July 2009) Rotary District Governor for District 6910. His District includes approximately 68 clubs across North Georgia. The Club was honored to have him attend this celebration. His heartfelt speech about what it means to be a Rotarian was enjoyed by all. He spoke highly of both Otis Jones and David H. Freeman as he led the “passing of the gavel.” Incoming Governor Moore’s favorite phrase is “I can bearly wait to District Conference!” In the spring of 2009, District 6910 Conference will be in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Incoming Governor Moore has a little crush on Dolly Parton. He is planning on finding her and asking her to sing to him. We’ll see! Another one of Gary’s passions is desserts. He will have a dessert contest at every Rotary Club in the District as he visits throughout the year. The winning entry will be served at the District Conference…maybe even to Dolly Parton! The Rotary Club of Lawrenceville has a good start on the contest. David H. Freeman’s mother, Elizabeth Freeman baked three different desserts for the Club to choose from as its contest entry. Incoming Governor Moore will have a special treat when he officially visits the club at the September 29th meeting at the Lil’ River Grill.
