EAST HAVEN, CT — Entering its 83rd year, the East Haven Rotary Club installed its officers for 2021-2022 on the Town Green this week.

Due to the uncertainty of pandemic protocols, the club noted it was unable to host its traditional Installation and Public Safety Awards Dinner ceremony this year. Each year at that formal dinner event, in addition to their officer’s installation, the Rotary would honor the recipients of the Joseph Buonome Public Safety awards. The club is looking forward to resuming this popular event once again next year, it said in a news release.

Outgoing club president Joan Adamczyk presented the President’s gavel to incoming president Cheryl Panzo. Newly installed officers include Ashley Lesco and Erika Santiago, Co-Secretaries and President-Elect Tammy Afragola.
