COVINGTON, Ga. - Tuesday, July 25 marked the first day of a new Rotary year for the Rotary Club of Covington, as the 2018-2019 board of directors was thanked for their service and the 2019-2020 board was sworn into office. 

Keith Adams, of Snapping Shoals, welcomed members for his final meeting as Rotary Club of Covington’s president. During the meeting he individually recognized all of the members with perfect attendance for the year and then announced the 2018-2019 Rotarian of the Year. 

Joe Davidson, of PC After Dark, was recognized as this year’s Rotarian of the Year.
