PRESTATYN Rotarians welcomed a new club President during their weekly meeting at the Beaches Hotel.
The new President for 2022-23 is Rotarian Paul Burnet, a businessman who runs the local Now-To-Bed stores with his wife Sue and family.
Outgoing President, Rotarian Jean Smith, had successfully steered the club through the second half of the Covid lockdown, and said: “I would like to thank everyone who helped through a difficult year which I think we managed quite gracefully.
“I wish President Paul all the best for the coming year.”
Mr Burnet thanked the members for their welcome and for the honour of being their President.
He added: “It’s great to see so many Rotarians here this evening.
“I will do my best to keep Prestatyn Rotary Club successful and I look forward to working with you all in my year of office.”
Paul presented a bouquet of flowers to past-President Jean and thanked her for all that she had achieved in her year.
He also gave special mention to Rotarians Peter and Amy Dop who had worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the Club’s borehole project in The Gambia.
Dave Smith rounded off the evening with a slide show of photographs showing the completed bore hole, being the culmination of a joint project with the Rotary Club of Brusibi in The Gambia.
