The Lobster Tail cruise boat

Wednesday night was President Walter Heller ’s night for the whole evening.  He was the speaker, the arranger, the main Chef, the gift giver and newly installed President of the Scituate Rotary Club. His court was held aboard the Lobster Tail, a 60-foot boat that cruised Plymouth Harbor on the most perfect night possible. No rain, no clouds—nothing but balmy breezes, a silvery moon, short speeches and a bar within inches of where you stood. 

The food was as elegant as the event, thank you to Cathy Chiasson and Sue Cellucci from Walter’s office. They prepared hors d’euvres, sandwiches, pasta salad (did you ever taste such a wonderful dill pickle salad?), fruits and cheeses followed by a dessert parade that never stopped. There was cheesecake, crème rolls, napoleons, and chocolate cream puffs and every time you thought you were done eating, another dessert came by. Sue Cellucci also created an impressive and colorful program heralding the new officers— a good picture, President Walter.

President Walter’s speech was humorous, enthusiastic, humble and optimistic. He’s focusing on getting new members. Being president a few years ago made him grow in Rotary and he believes that with the help of all members, 2004 – 2005 will be a strong year. Here are his new officers:

Bart Nuboer

Jack Borror  

All participants of the evening received a special Rotary gift from Walter in celebration of the night and Rotary’s 100th anniversary—a gold key ring with the words “service above self.” Anyone who missed the boat missed a first class evening---and we missed you: Bart, Roger & Nancy,   Carol & Donn, Beatrice and Linda Borror.

See you again next week for Club Night at the Barker Tavern, back on dry land.
