Ken hands over to Kenny

History was made at Enniskillen Rotary Club when Kenny Fisher took up the position of President for the second time, he previously held the post in 2012-2013. The handover took place during the weekly luncheon meeting when outgoing President Ken Rainey handed over the chain of office. Kenny joined the Club in 2002 and has held numerous positions during this time, culminating in the role of President. The theme for the incoming year is "Rotary Serving Humanity", the main fund-raising project for the year is the purchase of a new minibus for Willowbridge School. This is a worthwhile project because at present the school does not have their own bus which can transport clients in wheelchairs. A full programme of events is planned including a BBQ and Treasure Hunt, charity concert, charity breakfast, ladies afternoon tea party and the Annual Rotary Ball. President Kenny also hopes to bring the Club out into the community by having some lunchtime meetings in local businesses and places of interest.

Outgoing President Ken gave a summary of his year in office.

"What a year it has been - exciting, challenging, very enjoyable, memorable, the list goes on. The theme for the year "Be a Gift to the World" was very appropriate, and I trust this objective has been achieved within the Club." President Ken thanked very one for a team effort and welcomed three new members who joined during the year.

Some of the highlights during the year were:
The launch of the Killadeas Project; visit of DG Declan; Andrew's trip to the Phillipines and the link with Antipolo Rotary Club; barbeque at Blessingbourne; District Conference in Cork; the Literacy Project and the link with local schools; President's Ball; International Women's Day Breakfast; President's trip to London; Queen's Birthday celebrations; visit of RIBI President Peter Davey; visit of the US Consul; musical evening at Colebrooke; Pro-Am Golf Day; fun day at Killadeas and the distribution of Literacy boxes in the Phillipines.

Two Paul Harris Awards were presented to President Elect Kenny Fisher and Joe Maguire from St. Vincent de Paul. During the year in excess of £70k was raised for charity and in the process we have had a lot of fun.

President Ken thanked all those involved during the year, this was a team effort both from Council members and fellow Rotarians. Ken also thanked his clients who had supported his fund raising efforts and finally a special thanks to Pamela and the family for their continued support. God's hand has been upon us.

Before handing over to Kenny, President Ken Rainey took the opportunity to present Past President Roy Crawford with the Rotarian of the Year Trophy, this is to acknowledge his extraordinary service during the year 2015 - 2016.
