Change of Command Celebration

The Rotary Club of Parker celebrated our first opportunity to meet in person in more than a year at the Change of Command picnic on June 26 at Bayou Gulch Park in Parker.  The weather tried to interrupt the proceedings, but in true Rotarian fashion many people leapt to the rescue, pinning down everything from the canopy to the napkins.  We are clearly a group who believes in service…and desserts.  For lots of pictures of the event, check out this slide show.
 
 

Carolyn Ford of the Chaparral High School Interact Club
