Great food and drinks were in abundance at the party.  After lunch Chuck was presented with a plaque of appreciation from the Members of the Rotary Club of Palmdale by Incoming President, Sam Garcia.  Sam spoke to the Club Members and Guests about his vision for the Club for 2017-2018.  Outgoing President Chuck Church then spoke and thanked everyone for attending and thanked the Club Members for their support during the year.  Chuck then presented Club Members Sharon Freeman, David Maddock, Tina Borzage, Janice Garcia and Sam Garcia with Certificates of Appreciation and gifts for their efforts in 2016-2017.  Sharon’s Certificate was for Membership and Youth Service Chair, David’s Certificate was for Community Service Chair and Sergeant-at-Arms, Tina’s Certificate was for Club Treasurer, Janice’s Certificate was for Club Secretary and Sam’s Certificate was for Foundation Chair and President Elect.  Chuck was also presented with a Certificate of Recognition from 5th District Supervisor Kathryn Barger.  Senior Field Representative Donna Termeer presented the Certificate to Chuck on behalf of Supervisor Barger. 
 
Following the speeches and presentations everyone had dessert and sang “Songs we all know” with Olaf Landsgard leading the way on guitar.  It was a great time and everyone enjoyed the afternoon.
