Speaker: President Larry Levenson
Like most things, we didn't know how it would end. At our installation event last June, Charter President Judy Taunt said, “It's a year of change, the ending of a cycle and the beginning of a new cycle.” It was an exciting year, with many surprising turns in the road.

Larry Levenson thanks a lot for your work and dedication as President of our e-Club
Interesting meeting!
Great year Larry and the Board. Joe's got big shoes to fill.
I also want to thank Rushton for the great programs we had this year.
While up in Oregon this past month I asked a couple of my former club members who I know make up here what they thought and nary a negavtive commentl.
I just cant believe that I have attended my first meeting as an eclub member. When I first became a Rotarian in 1983 the thought of this kind of meeting would have been beyond my wildest imagination. This will be a great way to provide service to the club and the wonderful work within Rotary.
Your e-club has a very good foundation in place. I look forward to attending more makeups in the new Rotary year.
It WAS an exciting year, and it's amazing how much we accomplished and changed druing the year. I'm looking forward to some great things for our eClub this coming year. But I also have to say I'm looking forward to quieter, less stressful Sundays, since Larry no longer has to put together a meeting each week...Good luck, Joe!
Great stuff - I am proud to be a Rotarian as I am reminded what we have done this year. I hope that we all feel the excitement of being part of Rotary's future now!
It's also good to learn of the magic of the elevator. Thanks, Bob!
Hi Larry,
Wow, I am impressed and excited to become part of a vibrant club that is doing Rotary business locally AND internationally. Plus, I am very happy to be a liasion between the e-club and District regarding New Generation opportunities and Youth Ethics.
I enjoyed your meeting
LOVE the format - much more participative than other e-clubs. Thanks for creating this club/site. It is so important to have access to club meetings for those of us who travel often.
I think "Brain" Shaw (US) is actually Brian - his name is listed in the program.
The audio for Rotary minute had "overplay" of two or more speakers so it was impossible to hear either presentation.
Congratulations Larry you did a wonderful job this year, and now, Joe it’s always a challenge to start a year as a president when you see the job of the one that is giving you the courier, but time goes by fast and I am sure you will do the same or more.
Best wishes and remember you have 70 fellow Rotarians that will help you according to each one capacity.

Great handover video and looking forward to great Rotary year 2010/2011
First time using your e-club. Very convenient and will use it again when i need to make-up a meeting.
The education comment was very interesting as we in the USA are not training young people for blue collar work. Everyone has to get a degree and start near the top to keep up with piers, not good. Somehow we, the USA, have to solve this problem also.
Excelent program. The words of inspiration are encouraging and the achievements of this club are commendable.
I've been viting your Club for several years, and am gratified to hear of how vibrant and active you are! Congratualtions!
Liked the little bit of humor. Humor can get you through some rough times. Keep up the good work.

Love your club!
Congratulations to the 4th anniversary couple--Larry and Beth Levinson!
I enjoyed the inspirational videos
Congratulations on a wonderful year. It is especially pleasing to see that the COL has made e-clubs a permanent part of the Rotary world. Due to scheduling conflicts vaused by changes at my place of employment i was rarely able to attend my home club meetings, but was able to remain perfect in attendance through your club. It has been a great experience. I have njoyed your programs and I have enjoyed watching your clubs activities. You are as accomplshed as any terra club and in many ways have a farther reach in your impacts. Good luck to you for the coming year.
Your Club is an inspiration to all Clubs. If I ever need to make up a meeting, I make sure that I make it up through your e-club. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you Larry for a great Rotary year. Congratulations on a great job...well done.
Congratulations Larry, for having done so successfully your Rotary year, I am very proud that you are my Tutor and now that you have the time I will see many things. Hurley Rushton thanks so wonderful programme
Enjoyed the videos; nice break from reading.
A very educational and informative overview of the programs and membership structure of your global eclub. I like the dictionary project, which my club also does. It is wonderful that no matter where your members are, you can still make a difference.
GREAT
I enjoyed participating in this e-meeting. I particularly liked the participation of members from around the country and the world. It provides an insight into the Rotary’s presence in other communities. I definitely plan participating in this e-club for make-up credits.
Good Program as always
I have attended several Eclub meetings this past year and I have always been impressed with how you foster fellowship and growth, and this overview of the year was validation of what I have come to expect from your Rotary Club. Good job!
INTERESTING
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed this meeting!
Great year, congratulations. It is amazing and a sign of our times that you have so many members from so many different places around the world.
Very impressive accomplishments. It's amazing how events and service activities can all be organized through the internet!
It is always so exciting to begin a new Rotary year. Thank you, Larry, for being a terrific president. And, Joe, I will look forward to your year with eagerness. Your acceptance speech was great!

Larry’s presentation was a detailed summary of all the year’s events and initiatives and an equally full outlook for Joe Kagle’s tenure.

This meeting really puts more perspective on the growth of our club! As a new member, I'm impressed!
I really enjoyed the combination of reading material and videos. This kept the meeting interesting.
Thanks for sharing your installation. Our club will be having ours this week also.
Installation-time is always one of excitement for the new regime and relief for the old!
I did not realise we were so young a club - congratulations for all the hard work done!

Charles and Fay.
Last evening we were vistors at the Rotary Club of Broken Hill Changeover Meeting ,which is 300 Klms away ,I gave the Rotarians a little insight into the E club concept .
Such a wonderful and eventful year it was. I am proud to be the part of Larry's board. Thanks a lot Larry for giving me this opportunity to serve as a service project chair.
I am looking forward to Joe's year and am sure the year has a lot to offer.
Once again, congratulations Larry and all RECSWUSA members.
Very enjoyable. Thank you for the effort you put into hosting this eclub!
Good program. Was very interested in the comments from Elizabeth from Africa concerning education and technical training.
Enjoyed the humor on the site.

Fabulous year Larry and a wonderful summary of this awesome eClub. Joe will take us through this next phase of expansion as he has recent experience of expansion when President of the History Fellowship.
Well, Adam's Apple for the week was a gem. Nice work by Larry and Joe. Thanks for making this eClub a safe haven for the Rotary challenged of all kinds. Join us in Chicago rghf101010.org

Welcome to Joe! and I look forward to my visit with Larry and his family in VEGAS!
Your club and members made huge strides this past Rotary year. Keep up the good work!
We should be Number 1 in the world.
Congratulations to the backstage for all these changes on the website! Welcome to Joe and thanks Larry and Joe for your smiles! Life is wonderful, isn't it?
Program was very good and insightful. Shows what Rotarians can do without all meeting in one room weekly. The wonders of internet!
I love your format! It's like attending a regular meeting. Have not seen that with an eclub before. I'm impressed with your international membership. Having members from throughout the US and the world must provide a great source of ideas for projects and funding. All the best and thank you.
President Larry Levenson Presidents Larry Levenson's presentation was excellent. The switch between Rotary years is always one for reflection.
When I handed the gavel over, I chocked up. I was not expecting that.
All the best in Rotary Year 2010-2011 for president Joe!

Thank you, Larry for a very detailed summary of our eClub´s growth and accomplishments during your year of service. I will make sure to copy your summary and keep it in my file for future reference. I believe that our eClub is well positioned to continue its growth in the furture. Thanks again for a wonderful year!
Reading over all that has been done this year, we need to give Larry a standing ovation for his role as President in this critical year of our eClub existence (and our very existence was in balance until the COL met and said simply, "Well done and welcome as a full partner in Rotary." I say that same to Larry. He set the bar for any incoming President high. Next week, I will tell you all some of the ways that I set my mind (as well as found fellow Board members for 2010-2011) for this challenge.
Thank you, Larry for year well done. Thank all the Board members who will be stepping aside for a rest. Like a muscle, we need to exercise our service AND we need to rest it at time. All the members from this year Board deserve that rest- although most will not take it (but knowing that it is there certainly helps mental rest).
Again and again, thank you all for a marvelous year. Especially Larry, thank you.
Although I've been a member for only 9 months, this experience has been very special. Some wonderful programs have been presented, the club responded with support for service projects, including the emergency in Haity, and its pioneering work resulted in a major decision by Rotary Internations. Thanks and kudos to Larry and all the members who made it possible.
Unfortunately I missed my change over night this year. I really enjoyed your change over as it put me in the spirit of getting ready for the new year. I do enjoy Rotary but how true it is that " the more we participate the more we enjoy the true feeling of Service & Fellowship of Rotary".
