The Rotary Club of Medford is set to host a lunch meeting on June 27, 2023, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm at the Rogue Valley Country Club. The meeting, titled “The Passing of the Gavel,” is expected to be an exciting event as it will feature President Ray’s “Un-Roast” and the passing of the gavel to the incoming President Al, MC’d by Past President Raul. The event is open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend.
The passing of the gavel is one of the most important events in the Rotary Club’s calendar as it marks a new beginning for the club. It signifies the end of one president’s term and the beginning of another’s. The outgoing president traditionally passes the gavel, a symbol of authority, to the incoming president, who then takes on the responsibility of leading the club for the next term. The ceremony is usually accompanied by speeches, presentations, and other forms of celebration.
President Ray’s “Un-Roast” is expected to be one of the highlights of the event. The “Un-Roast” is a tradition in which the outgoing president is roasted by members of the club. However, President Ray has decided to turn the tradition on its head by asking members to say something nice about him instead. This is a departure from the norm, and it is expected to make for a fun and unique experience.
The event will be MC’d by Past President Raul, who is expected to bring his own brand of humor and charm to the proceedings. Raul is a highly respected member of the club, and his presence is sure to add a touch of class to the event.
Overall, the “Passing of the Gavel” is expected to be a fun and memorable event. It is an opportunity for members of the Rotary Club of Medford to come together and celebrate the end of one term and the beginning of another. It is also a chance for members of the public to learn more about the club and its activities. Anyone who is interested in attending is encouraged to do so, as this promises to be an event not to be missed.
