Turnover Night was a tremendous success this year as Binni Rana passed the Presidential torch over to Gordon Vandyke. The event was graciously hosted by long-time friend of the Club, Shelagh Harris. A tremendous thank you to Shelagh for all the hard work and preparation you did to make this evening a great success! Other thanks are due to the organizers, the BBQ chefs, the clean up crew and everyone who provided food and refreshment.
The theme this year was "Funny Hats" and there were many! It was a great afternoon/evening with lots of food, fellowship and fun. "Hat's Off" to everyone!
