Installation Dinner
A New President Is Dawned... um, Donned
 

 

 
Congratulations to Pastor George Dupree who was installed as our chapter's newest president at our Installation Dinner, June 20th.  Outgoing president Dawn Vogel donned now-president George with a new title: the Apostle George (!), presented him with his hero's cape, and swore him in during a very joyous celebration.
 
Special thanks to Danny Lanieri who arranged for the dinner and open bar by the river's edge at the Aquarium.
