Newly installed Past President, Steve Laine, after receiving a plaque of thanks from the club, took the opportunity to thank all of those who helped make his term a success, including the current board, past board members, committee chairmen & members, and all of the project leaders. Then Past President Jeanne presented a thank-you bouquet to Steve’s wife, Chris.
Past President Jeanne then provided a chance to roast newly-installed Past President Steve. Kirvin Knox suggested that Steve could stop introducing himself to everyone since we all know who he is. Cindy DeGroot and Carrie Baumgart suggested that he could now move to the big boy’s table. And Del Benson suggested, for his upcoming service as president, that he had learned from Steve to stand tall and hit the bell with authority.
