Williams congratulated the new officers on their willingness to serve in leadership positions and emphasized the important role each officer plays in the overall success of the club.

Brannan told members he is looking forward to the new service year and is excited about the opportunities for the club to expand current service offerings and find new ones to better serve people of all ages living in the club’s service area.
