A change of venue for the 2016 Rotary Annual Recognition Dinner. This year we gathered at Shawbucks, with thanks going out to owner and Rotarian Kurt Johnson and his staff for an excellent evening. Great food and great fun was had by all. We even had a sing-along!
 
 
The Annual Recognition Dinner is the event where Rotary says “thank you” to all who contributed in making this another outstanding Rotary year.
 
Highlights of the evening were the awarding of the Rotarian of the Year, which went to David Troxell. David and his Marissa spending part of their year in Jamestown, while spending the rest of the year circling the globe, offering their help towards many worthy causes.

President Mike Moots was honored for his yearlong leadership as club president, and was also bestowed with his 2nd Paul Harris Fellows award. Mike passed the gavel to new club President Gary Padak at the dinner:

The biggest highlight of the evening was when Mike Moots serenaded his wife Cathy onstage. Thanks to everyone who came out to this year's recognition dinner!
