Angela takes the chain as Rotary President

KILLARNEY Rotary Club had a changing of the guard this week as outgoing president John O’Sullivan handed over the chain of office to incoming president Angela O’Connor.

Angela was presented with the chain of office at the club’s lunch at Gaby’s Restaurant on Wednesday.

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 all club members for the support they gave him during his year in office and reviewed the highlights of his term, including the Evening of Wine & Art following which funds were raised to buy a new vehicle for Killarney Water Rescue.
