Thursday, June 25, the Byesville Rotary Club installed new officers at a dinner held at the Cambridge Country Club. Officers for 2009-10 are Phyllis Jeffries, President; Joe Waske, President-Elect; Bob Long, Treasurer; Dan Navicky, Secretary; Joe Smith, Sergeant of Arms, and Chris Morris, Immediate Past President. Directors for the new year are Marilyn Milhoan, Nellie Bichard, and Chuck Fair.

Marilyn Milhoan and Bill Hartley received Paul Harris Fellow Awards. Bill received a Sapphire Award which indicates donations totaling over $2000. These awards are given in recognition of donations of $1000 to the Annual Programs Fund, PolioPlus, or the Humanitarian Grants Program.

The Rotarian of the Year Award was presented to Joe “Gizz” Smith for his contributions to club activities such as serving as the Easter Bunny at the clubs “Breakfast with the Bunny. He has set new criteria for the Sergeant of Arms position by combining service and fellowship in the Sergeant of Arms responsibility to raise funds by fining club members. Club members have fun paying dollar fines and work as members of teams to answer questions from articles in the Rotarian monthly magazine.

Chris Morris, out-going President, reviewed the year’s accomplishments which included providing Christmas Food Baskets for 225 community members, the Annual Health Screening held in cooperation with SEORMC, presenting scholarships to Meadowbrook High School seniors, presenting dictionaries to all third graders in the Meadowbrook School District, and “Breakfast with the Bunny”—the club’s newest fundraiser.

These accomplishments are the result of club members putting the Rotary motto “Service Before Self” into action. Many club members were recognized for their contributions to club projects and were honored for perfect attendance. District 6690Assistant Governor, Kathy Kaluger, and Cambridge Rotary President, Andrew Warhola, Cambridge Rotary President, and his wife were guests at the dinner.

The club’s next meeting will be July 7 at the Stop Nine Senior Center at 60313 Southgate Road, Byesville. Anyone interested in learning more about the Byesville Rotary can call Membership Chairs Marty Patchen, 740-685-3828, or Larry Miller, 740-439-2767.
