Newport Rotarians Attend Governor's Installation

Newport Rotary had a good showing of Rotarian support for Governor Lee Dixon's Installation ceremony held at the Country Club of the Crystal Coast on Wednesday, July 16, 2008.

The Installation marked the transition between the administration of Past Governor Wilson Ray of Red Springs, and Gov. Dixon of Morehead City, both very familiar persons to our club. The event was hosted by the Governor's home club, the Morehead City - Noon Rotary Club.

Newport's Mayor, Rotarian & Past District Governor Derryl Garner led the singing of "R-O-T-A-R-Y" and "God Bless America" to help open the event, and attended with his Rotary Partner, Jane. Past District Governor Bevin Wall was recognized as outgoing Rotary Foundation Chair, and as a member of the incoming District Leadership Team serving as District Secretary and District Conference Chair. He attended with his Rotary Partner and Newport Rotarian, Pam Wall. Also in attendance was Newport Rotarian and Morehead City-Noon Honorary Rotarian Harold Chartley.
