On Tuesday, we received an email from Secretary David Button with the surprising news that President Lea Paton and her husband Steve had resigned from the Club due to personal commitments. 
 
Former President Lea asked that the following message be included in this issue of the bulletin.
 
"Just a little farewell note from me to all my friends at the Rotary Club of Berwick. 
 
I hope to continue with the friendships that both Steve and I have made through the Club. 
 
We really value the contacts we have made.
 
Unfortunately, it had recently got to the stage where I was not enjoying being a Rotarian anymore and it was causing more stress than it should have, so it was time to for me to step away. 
 
I will take the opportunity to spend more time with my family, now that I will have it. 
 
Steve and I wish you all the very best in your future endeavours and hope to see you around the traps."
 
We will all miss Lea and Steve Paton and value the contributions they made during their six years as members of the Club
 
In the short term Vice-President Gerald Treasure will take over the Presidency until a replacement can be found.
