Our new Club President, Randy Morreale, was caped at our Installation Dinner, June 25 at The Village Idiot Pub in Aquebogue. It was a great night of good fun and fellowship, applause and thanksgiving, and lots of laughs.Among the highlights of the night was a special presentation, led by Tom Lennon and Sherry Patterson, to Pat Wiles who was given the Mark of Excellence Award for his many years of service as Chair of Uncorked.
Several of our members were presented with Paul Harris Awards:
Debbie Doyle, Kurt Van de Wetering, Tom Lennon, Mimi Wood, Pat Wiles, Beth Hanlon and out-going President George Dupree.
After a bit of a reset, our incoming Board of Directors and Officers were sworn in by President Randy. They are: New Directors David Troyan, Chris Nasseur, Eleanor Daly and Bob Ward, Secretary Kimberly Judd, Treasurer Kimberly Cioch, and President Elect Rob Stromski.
The reset: "Raise your right hand...
No Kimberly...your other right" -- Note the smirks!
Out-going Board Members, Dawn Vogel, Diane Tucci, Sean Murray and Vinny Barry were thanked for their service on the Board and presented with club jackets.
Eleanor Daly was recognized with our Club Excellence Award for her outstanding service.
Sean Murray was presented with a plaque and thanked for his service as "Web Master."
But the big highlight of the night was Randy's installation, officiated by Ron Farnworth, and presentation of the AG Cape.
Contenders for the AG designation this year were "All's Good Guy," "Always Hungry Guy," and "Ain't No Leftovers Guy" with the winner being "'Are you gonna' finish that?' Guy."
CONGRATULATIONS RANDY!
