CRESTVIEW — The Rotary Club of Crestview has a new board of directors for Rotary year 2016-17.
The organization's annual banquet was part of its regular Wednesday lunch meeting June 29 at Samuel’s Roadhouse in Crestview.
The new board members are Mike Connell, Dale Henderson and Dick Russell, directors; Allyson Oury, treasurer and past president; Bill Barnhill, charter member; Larry Ward, president; Nikki Schneberger, secretary; Samma Brannon, president-elect; Mike Carroll, past president; Ronnie Lunsford, sergeant at arms.
The club presented five $2,000 checks to local organizations derived from the proceeds of the club’s 2nd Annual Great Gun Giveaway of 2016. The recipient organizations were selected by the board of directors from nominations by the club, with a focus on local entities that do not have funded marketing or fundraising functions.
The funds were presented to the North Okaloosa Amateur Radio Club; Elie’s Voice; Safe Connections Family Visitation Center; the Northwood Elementary School Backpack Program; and Kiwanis Club of Crestview.
