Hail to the Chief!

Hail to the Chief!
President Mike Pond's first meeting was exciting and moving! Mike arranged for a talented bagpipe player and started the meeting in a most impressive fashion. A procession began with a bagpipe player playing, the American flag carried by Police Chief Olivas and Fireman's axes by Chief Jeff Jones and Firefighter Graham Paske, followed by our new (Chief) Club President, Mike Pond.
Mike proceeded to teach us our new Rotary three way test, something about fun, hard work, and fellowship... We will all have a great Rotary year!
Mike's wife Andrea helped with the hard work for our first meeting. Many of the collected Rotary Club Flags were proudly hung around the room. I understand we have hundreds and hundreds of these special momentos. Each representing a special experience by one of our club members.
We learned the words to "Hail to the Chief" Obviously some thought went in to adapting the song to include the inspiration to participate and support our club for the greater good of our community.
