Charter Night - 14 January, 2012

The Alpharetta Rotary Club celebrated 29 years of fellowship and service at its annual Charter Night on January 14, 2012.  This year’s black-tie optional event was held at the Crooked Creek club house and more than 75 members and guests attended.  Special guests included District Governor Margie Kersey and her husband Ron, and District Governor Elect Cheryl Greenway.

President Sam Gordon recapped the Rotary year thus far and recognized several Rotarians for their outstanding service.  Nelson Karpeh was recognized as the Club’s “Rookie of the Year.”  Wayne Robinson and Mike Hart were inducted into the Club’s “Hall of Fame.”  And Chris Weeber was named the “Rotarian of the Year” for 2011-2012.  Congratulations to these fine Rotarians and thank you for your contributions to the Alpharetta Rotary Club.

Also, thanks to Chef Doug Pruett and his staff for the wonderful meal they prepared, to Denver Baxter from the Party Patch for the evening’s music, to Club Service Director, Rory Young, for coordinating the evening's festivities, and to photographers John Hipes, Fred Denkman, and Steve Corder.  It was apparent from the dancing, the laughter and the many empty glasses on the tables that everyone had a great time.
