Igniters Year End Party

Celebration

Igniters members are proud that our club achieved Presidents Distinguished Club with 10 out of 10 goals completed. What do you do when you are excited and proud of our achievements?

We celebrate with a party! We had all the ingredients: welcome guests, excited members, fun, fellowship, food, music, inspiring table topics - and awards! 

Our many guests were welcomed warmly and told us they enjoyed seeing the continuum of experience and skills in this club from beginner to "seasoned". It made them feel that they too could fit in. A special welcome to Chelsea, our past Division E Director.

We had even more to celebrate - the recent marriage of  Emma (Igniter member) and Rob.

Executive Team Recognition

Mark, our outgoing President, said farewell and thank you to the current Executive Team for all their contributions and teamwork.
