This past Monday was our Annual Installation Dinner and Reception for DG Jason Leib. It was held at Transport Brewery. District Governor Blanche Parks installed our new officers for the 2019-2020 year; outgoing President Matt Janes gave us a year in review and gave out awards; Past President Terry Tevis presented Matt with the coveted Past President Pin; and incoming President Lenet Compton gave us her goals for this year.
Next was the time to recognize our incoming District Governor -- Lenexa's own, Jason Leib. Past President JC Burcham recognized all the Past District Governors from our club and then presented our new District Governor, Jason Leib.
It was a fun evening. The food and drink were delicious and the venue and weather could not have been better.
