Instead of a usual noon time meeting, this week we had our annual Rotary Cookout at Claxton Field in Needham. We had approximatley 20 members, family members and friends in attendance, who feasted on hamburgs and hot dogs ala Tibma (means Dan Tibma organized the event and cooked the majority of the food. Great job Dan!!).

Children played but the biggest event was the opportunity to meet new people and to socailize with spouses, family and friends galore.

As the picture depicts, we are preparing for the transfer of the gavel next week as Charles Nelson will be sworn in with his set of officers.

A fun time was had by all!

If time allows, we'll put together a photo album on our web site with pictures from the cookout.
