PDG Lew Bertrand conducted an Induction Ceremony for our newest members, Hedy & Roberto Frisancho (former faculty at U of Michigan). Congratulations, and welcome to the Club!
 
After dinner was served, Past-President John Turner demonstrated (voluntarily, we presume) his mastery on playing the Ukelele. We were so impressed that we may enter him into next year’s Student Music Contest.
 
Club Service Chair Jerry Farrell Presented PV Sunset’s 2013-14 Ruth Kain Rotarian of the Year Award to Newsletter Editor Wes Bradford, apparently for all those years of publishing the Palos Verdes Sunsetter newsletter that some of us read (“Most of the Truth, Most of the Time!”). After verifying that some mistake had not been made, he expressed his sincere appreciation to the Club members. A $250 donation to the Rotary Foundation was made in his name.
 
Lew Bertrand introduced Outgoing President Sandy Farrell. She introduced her Club Officers and Board Members, and thanked them for their year of service. Then Lew gave Sandy a dose of her own medicine (“Counseling the Psychotherapist”), avoiding any Freudian connotations.
 
 
 
District Governor Elsa Gillham (2014-15) and spouse Larry Gillham were introduced. DG Elsa & PDG Lew expressed appreciation to Sandy for her year of leadership, accomplishments, and service, and presented her with the Past President’s pin (adding to her jewelry collection).
 
DG Elsa officially installed Roger Schamp as our Club President for 2014-15, and presented him with the President’s pin. Then she installed his 2014-15 Officers and Board (who bore considerable resemblance to the previous crew). President Roger presented pins to his incoming Board, and gave his acceptance remarks. PDG and Master of Ceremonies Lew Bertrand concluded the program with fitting closing remarks. We appreciate the attendance and participation by our new DG, Elsa Gillham, and we are now ready to begin a fruitful new Rotary Year.​
