Following months of hands-off projects, on-line meetings, and other social distancing strategies, the Rotary Clubs of Amherst and Lancaster-Depew met in Russell’s Patriots & Heroes Park for a brief open air Officer Installation Ceremonies. Giving the oath was IPDG Robert Artis. Also in attendance were various members of each club and PDGs - Richard Earne, Pravin Suchak, and Jack Amico.
Incoming Presidents are Fiona Barretto (Amherst) (pictured left being sworn in by IPDG Bob) and Brian Williams (Lancaster-Depew). Among those gratefully appreciated
for their service were outgoing presidents: Izzy Abdallah (Amherst) and Adam Guglielmi (Lancaster-Depew).
Four wreaths were laid at the flight 3407 monument to recognize the four Amherst residents killed in the crash. Also presented were two PHF’s. One to Immediate Past President Izzy (pictured right) and one to EarlyAct Founding President Evon Pleasanton-Pruitt.
