DISTRICT GOVERNOR INDUCTION CELEBRATION
 On
Friday, June 8, 2007, 240 people from Chatham Kent and Upper
Michigan joined the Rotary Club of Chatham Sunrise in
celebration of the Induction of Audrey Chevalier as District
Governor of Rotary International District 6380.
Thank you to Paul and Rosemarie Roy for allowing the club to
host this event on their property. There could not have been
a more beautiful and suitable location for such a wonderful
event.
Thank you to all of the sponsors. Without their generous
contribution, the success of the event would not have been
possible. Thank you to the Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce, the Rotary Clubs of Blenheim, Chatham, Ridgetown,
Dresden, Thamesville, Wallaceburg and Tilbury, and the
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Thank you to Express
Copies and Printing for donating the programs and Kent
County Chrysler for providing shuttling service before,
during and after the event.
Special thanks to the Chatham Interact Club and their leader
Jennifer McDougal for ensuring safe parking and providing
directions for everyone to the tent.
Thank you as well to the CKSS Jazz Band for the
entertainment before dinner. Their music showed the way to
all our guests.
Many thanks to all the club members of the Rotary Club of
Chatham Sunrise, their spouses, their partners, and friends
for all the work they did before, during and after to make
this event a success. No task in an event like this is too
small to be left unrecognized. Without the work of many it
just would not have worked. From the agenda, the program,
getting the DJ, getting insurance, greetings, reception,
getting the liquor license, running the bar, selling
tickets, giving suggestions, watching for details, to
setting up and tearing down. Plus many many many more things
that had to be done before, during, and after. Each task is
as important as the next to create a successful event. Thank
you to the following people.
Blake Vince as Chairman of the event, co-ordinated this
event and looked after numerous items including, but not
excluding arranging for the tents, getting the liquor
license, which was quite a feet in and of itself, the power,
looking after the bar, set up and clean up.
Erica Hazzard and Jean Baker kicked off the whole event by
designing and distributing the invitation for tonight’s
event.
Jean Baker and her friends for all the decorations. Didn’t
she do a fabulous job and hand to fight through wind and
storm to make everything look wonderful.
Steve Sadler put together the wonderful audio visual
presentation for the Canadian and American national anthems.
Thank you Steve, it was truly inspiring.
Max Howell for the Agendas and arranging the speakers.
Roger McRae and Kent County Chrysler for the shuttle
service.
Sheila Bateman, our club secretary. Did so many thing that
can’t even be listed and are far beyond the requirements of
a secretary.
Beth Walters, our treasurer, took care of the registrations
and all associated things that accompanied that large task.
Ed Schiestel and Betty for greeting everyone at the gate.
Jackie Bray looking after reception.
John Lawrence for looking after the 50/50 draw.
James Mac Neil for the invocation.
Greg Davenport
Stephen Hook
Doug Swant
Michele Grezbien
Jim Nash
Harry Verhey
Steve Pickard
Jim Steele
Included in this list should also be their partners, spouses
and friends.
If I have forgotten anyone, my apologies. Without a lot of
help this evening would not have worked.
Once again congratulations to Audrey. You will be a great
District Governor in a year that is truly special.
