Rotary Leadership Transition June 18, 2021

This was our first in-person event since the beginning of the pandemic. We thoroughly reveled in each other’s company, after a 15-month hiatus to gathering. We appreciate Tom Benson for lending his spacious backyard to host the event.

We are grateful for Phyllis Hayes-Reams for serving two terms as our club president. Her unwavering leadership took us through the pandemic, as she adapted the meeting format to Zoom and continued our community service projects, including the school supplies projects and the grocery delivery for the City of Signal Hill.

Congratulations to Albert Chang as our incoming club president. His sense of humor and larger than life personality will take the club in new directions.

Unfortunately, the Rotary International Convention could not take place in Taipei, Taiwan this year. Nevertheless, we celebrated Taiwanese culture by savoring traditional Taiwanese cuisine from a local restaurant, Lucky Number 1 Chinese Food, as our “food evening”.
