Aurora, Mo. -

June 30 marked a change in leadership for the Aurora Rotary Club.

Rich Jenkins, who has served as president for the past year, made a presentation to Nina Eads, who serves as a lieutenant governor for this Rotary district, in the form of checks totalling $2,000. The funds are earmarked for the organization’s ongoing efforts at eradicating polio worldwide.

Eads installed the officers for the new year: Darlene Moore, president; Jan Bond, president elect; Allison Sheid, treasurer; and Daryl Cammarano, sergeant at arms. Don Buchanan will continue to serve as the club’s secretary.

Various members of the group made personal donations totaling nearly $700 to First Baptist Church for its Community Dinner project.

The club meets every Tuesday at noon at St. John’s Hospital--Aurora for lunch and business.
