President Kenneth McGrath Message
This week we were informed that the President Elect of Rotary International for this coming year is Barry Rassin, of the Rotary Club of East Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas.  He was selected by the Nominating Committee for President of Rotary International for 2018-19 to replace Sam Owori who passed away unexpectedly last month.  As you probably know our club is planning to celebrate its 100th anniversary between June and August 2018 with the date dependent on the schedule of the incoming president who we have asked to attend.
