June 28, 2022 -- New club President Daryl Moss was officially inducted for the 2022-2023 Rotary year. Daryl gave a simple yet complete and moving acceptance speech that motivated all members to confidently look forward to the upcoming year.
Outgoing president Jill Owens was unable to attend due to work obligations, so Jill recorded her year's "remembrances" on a 10-minute video. We passed the gavel from the former presidents to the newest, and Daryl officially became the club president.
The Miracle League of Westchester is the organization that runs an adaptive baseball league for disabled kids and adults.
This event was hosted by the Miracle League at the Ridge Road Park, Hartsdale. More than 800 kids registered for this special Halloween dress-up party.
We handed out candy and interacted with the kids and parents. Of course everyone came in costume!

Past President Jill Owens' term ended June 30, 2022, but we delayed having the Halo Club dinner until June 6, 2023. So in Jill's 49th week as a "past" president, we held the dinner at the Harrison Meadows Country Club. The food was excellent; the speakers were exciting; the Halo Club members praised Jill and ultimately voted (unanimously!) to admit her into the prestigious club.
One highlight of the evening was the song written by Karl Milde to "welcome" Jill into the Halo Club. Sung to the tune of Frere Jacques, the song is titled Sister Jill. Karl's lyrics are very creative, asking if Sister Jill is ready to join the club, because "we heard knocking."
