Rockwall Noon Rotary held a celebratory year-end luncheon with awards, recognitions, and the passing of the gavel to the incoming board. Outgoing club president, Lorne Liechty provided a year in review detailing seven successful service projects including those with Food for Kids, North Texas Food Bank, Rockwall County Meals on Wheels, and Helping Hands.
Through regular service Rotarians have distributed meals, helped prepare food baskets for local school students, made stuffed animals for Christmas toy drives, and helped provide much needed supplies to those who suffered from the wildfires in West Texas.
Lorne Liechty passed the gavel to incoming president, Darby Nielsen who proclaimed the coming year theme “The Magic of Rotary.” Expressing her appreciation of Lorne Liechty’s leadership team, Nielsen stated, “Lorne was able to provide great metrics, challenge us to move forward, but what we cannot put into metrics is the magic you gave us. Thank you for a job well done!”
