JUNE 26, 2012 — During Tuesday’s lunch meeting, Rotary President Patterson Smith passes the gavel to incoming 2012-2013 President, Tom Clymer. The District Governor was on hand to induct the incoming President and the new board officers. Tom Clymer announced the theme for the upcoming year as “Service Above Self!”

The event marked an end to a year that was filled with immense dedication and service throughout the community and abroad. The club provided several grants to local organizations, provided free tennis lessons to 22 deserving students, participated in Adopt-A-Highway, provided college scholarships to local high school graduates, and participated in the district’s Water Mission Project.

Patterson Smith ended an extraordinary year by announcing he will be making a personal contribution to the Water Mission project in honor of all the Rotarians who assisted him during his year as President.
