About 40 Rotarians & guests gathered at the beautiful White Bear Yacht Club on Wednesday, August 16th to toast our Immediate Past President Chuck Whitaker. We enjoyed various beverages named after our esteemed guest of honor, for example, the "Up Chuck." Thanks to the creative talent of Michael-jon Pease, we all enjoyed a witty review of the 2016-2017 Rotary year with the theme of "Wine Selections to Serve with Chuck Roast. " Highlights included Bell Ringer Chardonnay, Cas(h)bar Sauvignon Blanc, Reaching the Summit Rosé, Little Red Corvette Cabernet Sauvignon & Painted Desert Pinot Noir.
The mic was passed around to a few so they could share thoughts that of course "would build good will and better friendships!" Songs were sung and delicious cupcakes by David Dominick were devoured just before (or after!) the heavens erupted with rainfall and Rotarians safely made their way home. Thanks all for celebrating another great Rotary year!
