Changing of the Guard "Service is our Passion"
Club President #98, Rob Erney, will transfer leadership responsibilites to John Deal in a ceremony that has become a great Columbus Rotary Tradition.
Under Rob's leadership, we welcomed nearly 30 new members, developed a renewed bond of fellowship, and invested roughly $190,000 in local and international projects, always staying true to his presidential theme of "Service is our Passion".
The nation's economy made this year challenging for the club. We hired a new exectutive director, but also lost a number of dear friends, including our club's 38 year employee Judy Ann McGlaughlin. Through it all, Rob's leadership has had a calming influence on membership and was a bright light of hope for the direction that this club is headed.
