T
THERE was a changing of the guard at Killarney Rotary Club this afternoon as outgoing president John O’Sullivan handed over the chain of office to incoming president Angela O’Connor.
Angela took the helm at the weekly Rotary lunch, which took place at Gaby’s Restaurant, High Street. The incoming president, who has been a member of Killarney Rotary since 2008, is a solicitor and partner in the firm of O’Connor O’Shea Solicitors, High Street, Killarney.
Originally from Listowel, Angela has lived in Killarney for over 20 years. As a member of the ladies committee at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club, she is actively involved with the junior members. “I am looking forward to my year in office and in strengthening Killarney Rotary Club’s involvement in its charity events and community projects,” Angela said.
“I hope to continue and expand on the good work done by our outgoing president John in our projects such as the Youth Leadership Awards, the Young Musician of the Year, our annual charity wine and art night in November and our charity afternoon tea in October.”
Outgoing president John O’Sullivan thanked his fellow Rotarians for their support during his year in office and reviewed the highlights of past 12 months.
John was applauded for a very successful year, during which he spearheaded numerous key events, including the Evening of Wine & Art following which funds were raised to buy a new vehicle for Killarney Water Rescue.
John, a professional photographer, is a member of Kerry Mountain Rescue Team and also an organiser of Killarney Walking Festival.
Among those present at the Killarney Rotary ceremony was Rotary Ireland assistant governor Teresa O’Brien.
