Honoring District Governor Dian Edwards
District 5630 Rotarians gathered to celebrate the official end of the 2012-2013 Rotary year with the annual Passing of the Pin Dinner on Saturday, June 29. The honoree, Past District Governor Dian Edwards made the “pinning” of 2013-2014 District Governor Duane Tappe. Â At the completion of the evenings activities, Dian also presented DG Tappe, with all of the districts, “stuff” including the district shelterbox, and several boxes of materials. Â
10 Past District Governors were in attendance and were recognized for their contributions to the District. Â Stories were told of their DG year, and were quite entertaining. Â PDG Diane Finch-Oerter told of her trip to Europe with PDG Marcie Schmidt and their visit to the beach. Â She told of the many beautiful photos she had taken (pre-digital era), but didn’t realize what she had until she got home and had the film developed. Â Ask her to share the story when you see her. Â
Incoming District Governor Duane Tappe (2013-14) and his wife Diana welcomed all Rotarians to the celebration.  A lovely dinner was shared by all.  The evening was organized by district trainer, Loraine Lawler, rololawler@charter.net.  Read more about the event in the July Newsletter.
