He was called to the stage the first time to receive a District Governor,s Citation, the second time he had to go up to [a total surprice to all] to receive his second Paul Harris Award. (This award was presented for the extra efforts that the North Reading Club placed on meeting it's goals and increasing membership.) The third time was to be sworn in as an Assistant Governor, by Governor Julia.

AND THEN IT WAS KENNY'S TURN

Yes he is our NEW President for 2007-2008. Is he ready for what lies ahead?

Judging by the smile, after being officially installed as the North Reading Club's new President, all who attended could tell that yes he is READY, WILLING and ABLE to lead our club forward into the unknown.

In 2007-2008, as we "SHARE" what has to be done, as one member put it, we will all keep the North Reading Rotary Club "ON THE MAP!"

DECEMBER 12, 2007

There was no actual meting but members of the club could be found at the North Reading Housing Authority treating the seniors to lunch and a Christmas Carol sing along.

Club members present for the caroling were, left to right: Janice Wood, Peter Majane, Eric Evans, Joe Scianatico, Debbie Birkmaier, Doug Mercurio, Nancy Mede and her fiance Steve and Steve May.

Members of the club and the 14 seniors who attended the special event really enjoyed the lunch and had a great time singing.

We would also like to thank Mr. Frank Delaney, Manager of the Housing Authority for allowing the club to furnish the lunch and entertain the seniors. Everyone really got into the event and it was noted that some of the club members, when it came to singing the 12 days of Chistmas, could really belt out one particular part of the carol. Just ask Doug.
