President John Belisle presents a plaque of appreciation to Gary Adams at his final Rotary meeting.
Gary Adams and wife Carole hosted the Valentine Luncheon for their last time. This is Gary's final meeting as a Rotarian. Gary welcomed the Rotarians from the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club and some visiting Rotarians from the Auburn-Lewiston Rotary Club. Carole Adams blessed us with the invocation. We were then serenaded by Nick Knowlton with It had to be You!
The wait staff then proceeded to serve us a scrumptious three-course meal to Putting on the Ritz! The singing and serenading continued with Nick Knowlton and Bette Sanborn while we enjoyed the courses presented to us.

Ed Leveque won the lottery....FINALLY! Congratulations, Ed! When Gary asked for Happy Dollars, he got many. There were many happy people and lots of the happy dollars had to do with Gary....memories, thank yous, golf moments, etc.
President John Belisle seized the opportunity to get the microphone away from Gary to quickly turn our luncheon into "This is your Life, Gary!" A special chair was brought in for Gary to watch a sentimental photo journey on the big screen. We all enjoyed watching Gary and Carole change through the years.
Gary has been a Rotarian with the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club since 1962. President John presented Gary with a special plaque for his dedication, commitment and contribution to our club over the years.
After the slide show and presentation, we were then served a decadent three-layer chocolate mousse cake to the tune of How Sweet it Is!
In addition to thanking Gary for all he's done for our club, President John thanked Nick and Bette for entertaining us today.
We send Gary and Carole off with our best wishes for a safe journey and warmer climate in Florida. Although no one could ever replace Gary Adams, we look forward to having George Gendron as a new Rotarian.
