PROGRAM

 

Bill Apger, the immediate Past President, conducted the demotion of President Andy Farrar.  Several members were asked to comment on Andy’s presidency.

 

Phil Price pointed out that just last week he had to volunteer $10 for his birthday because Andy overlooked it in May (of course avoiding singing “Happy Birthday” alone to Bill Apger also had something to do with it).  Andy said that was because I wasn’t there on my birthday.  (With a promise of immunity from the incoming President) I pointed out that he also didn’t recognize me for being in Cabo San Lucas on my birthday and in Las Vegas in February.

 

Jim Patterson pointed out that during Andy’s presidency he had moved us from the Durham Memorial Hall to the BCCC with a bar serving alcohol.  He suggested that Andy drove us to drink.  Jen Liu and Roy Ellis also had comments.  But Roy also pointed out that we had given $21,000 in scholarships this year.  Eventually, Andy was presented with his past president’s pin and hand made plaque, with a mallet on it, (followed by a real plaque).

The gavel was then turned over to President Daryl Polk, who adjourned the meeting.
