However, we have effected an orderly transfer of executive offices along the way. That transfer we recognise and celebrate today. Mr. President, let me congratulate you and your team, and wish you much success in your stint as leaders of this club.
You could not have offered to serve and to lead this Club at a more demanding time, but I am confident that at the end of your term you and our club will have made a significant contribution to the well-being of our fellow citizens. Let me also congratulate Sonya Alleyne.
