Byesville Rotary Club celebrated the end of its thirty-seventh year at the Dockside Restaurant, Lake Seneca. Club members, friends and supporters of Byesville Rotary attended.

 Chuck Fair, outgoing president, reviewed the 2023-24 activities which included the annual Christmas Food Basket project and the club’s Scholarship Awards given to graduating students from Meadow Brook. Chuck presented handmade ceramics to Jordi Harding, Jan Wilson, Tanya Hitchens, Shana Fair, Jim Bacos and Dennis Harding in recognition for their contributions to club activities during the year.

 He presented Lisa Groh with the club’s “Rotarian of the Year” service award. Lisa is responsible for writing grants. The most important is the grant supporting the club’s Christmas Food Basket program. Lisa chairs the Membership Committee and organizes activities to build membership in the club. She also ensures club meetings are offered via Zoom and are streamed to FaceBook.

Dylan Perry, Assistant District Governor for Rotary District 6690, conducted the induction ceremony and swore Shana Fair in as the club president for 2024-25. After officially receiving the gavel, Shana presented Chuck with a plaque recognizing him for his year as president.

What a fun party. A Rotarian from a different club in District 6690 who was having dinner at the Dockside stopped by the party to congratulate the club.
