Belated congratulations to my friend, and now past president of the Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel, for an outstanding year at the helm of our areaâs largest Rotary Club, which meets Wednesdays at noon at the Lexington Oaks Golf Club clubhouse.
Kent passed his presidentâs gavel over to new president David Gainer on June 15, at the clubâs annual awards banquet and installation of new officers. Ross presided over the clubâs many service projects, which included not only another successful Duck Fest, but also the start of a new tradition, the Hats & Horses Kentucky Derby party, during his tenure.
At the banquet, Ross gave away many service awards (including one to my fiancĂ©e Jannah McDonald) and welcomed inspirational guest speaker Tiffany Ervin, the self-proclaimed âRotary Greek.â His very deserving Rotarian of the Year was future stand-up comedy star Jodie Sullivan.
At Kentâs final meeting as the clubâs president on June 27, everyone in attendance honored him by wearing his signature vest and a mask of his likeness. Great stuff! â GN
