Passing the gavel
(Talk of the Town photo by Jennifer Zartman Romano) Columbia City Rotarians marked the day with the passing of the gavel from former president Dr. Renel Alarie, left, to incoming president Candice Yeakle this afternoon. Alarie was presented with a framed, golden gavel to commemorate his dedication and leadership while serving as club president. During Alarie's year of service, the organization assisted in many worthwhile activities within the community, including providing gifts to the Splashpad project, the YMCA and the Whitley County Sheriff's Department's K9 program.
