The torch of leadership has been passed at the South Haven Rotary Club, during its annual banquet and induction ceremony. Outgoing President Mary Sue Lyon turned over the gavel to incoming President Melinda Gruber.
New Members of the South Haven Rotary board were then formally inducted:
· President Melinda Gruber

· Treasurer David Campbell
· Secretary Rhonda Wendzell

“We have had a fantastic year,” past president Mary Sue Lyon remarked, “our membership has increased and we have been able to take on more community service projects and continue to contribute over $50,000 to the needs of our community and region. In addition, we saw the completion of a new sanitary water supply system for villagers in Ngoswani, Kenya. This is a club that has accomplished a lot and who demonstrate Rotary’s motto of ‘service above self’ in a very meaningful way.”
