Founding President Rick Coakley described his year as Club President as “fastest one year I think I have ever had!” Coakley noted that “ Time just flew by. There was a lot to do, but I began to see the reward of my year a few months before it was time to bring on the next president.
When my year ended, everyone thanked me. But frankly I should have thanked every member, as I was a much better person because of the experience of being a Club President”, he concluded.
