A New President Is Dawned... um, Donned
Congratulations to Pastor George Dupree who was installed as our chapter's newest president at our Installation Dinner, June 20th. Outgoing president Dawn Vogel donned now-president George with a new title: the Apostle George (!), presented him with his hero's cape, and swore him in during a very joyous celebration.
Special thanks to Danny Lanieri who arranged for the dinner and open bar by the river's edge at the Aquarium.
Read on for more details about the evening and photos.
Come get to know us.

Thanks to many Santa's helpers, aka Rotarians, great shopping and fun work, thousands of dollars of toys, clothing, and assorted gifts were put in the hands of happy neighbors that needed a holiday lift this year.
Again with the help of members and friends, our Holiday Baskets made their way into many grateful hands.
Judge Allen Smith, a 51-year member of the Rotary Club of Riverhead was remembered and well-honored at a dedication ceremony, October 24. A plaque of our Town to be placed at the soon-to-be new Justice Court reads, “In honor and recognition of the immeasurable contributions of Honorable Allen M. Smith, Lifelong Public Servant to the Town of Riverhead.”
The event was well attended by current members of our club.
Our Rotary Club of Riverhead celebrated a Rotary Youth Exchange Day Wednesday, October 18. The lunch meeting saw fine presentations from both our current exchange student and our very first one.
Emma Bodineau (far right) of France is our current exchange student, the only one of our District. Neil Smith (center right) of Australia was our first exchange student. He made his life-changing trip in 1965.
Here they are joined by Dawn Vogel, President, and Riverhead Rotarian Sean Walter.
