Sixty years officially in the books, thanks to an SRC gala dinner party Thursday night at the Comfort Inn.

In addition to a performance by magician Doug Eash — who performed some close-up sleight of hand magic for the kids in attendance before his main show — the crowd of SRC members, spouses, friends, and guests enjoyed a buffet dinner and awards presentations.

President Phil Kellerman presented awards to a number of SRC members for various activities. Those present to accept were Bill Dowd (also the event coordinator), Murray Forth, Andy Leyhane (two awards), Shannon Romanowski, Debbie Rodriguez, Jim Leyhane (two awards), and Kevin Leyhane. Not in attendance, but receiving awards, were “Rotarian of the Year” Pat Bailey, Becky Raymond, Debbie Brown, Peter Brown, Roberto Martinez, and Terry Brewer (two awards).

In addition, we heard remarks from two District Governors — our own 7190 DG Larry Jones, and visiting 7120 DG Dave Hannan from the Rochester area.

Here are some scenes from the evening:
