At Syracuse — Jim Evans steps down Jeanne Gardiner named
(By DEB PATTERSON Staff Writer The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of annual dinner meeting is a time when the leadership of the organization passes from one hand to another. This year Jim Evans passed on the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce to Jeanne Gardiner during last evening’s event. Making the outgoing president’s remarks, Evans stated he felt like Christopher Columbus. “When I started this job ! didn’t know where .1 was going, when I got there, I wasn't sure where 1 was. Now that I’m finished I’m not sure where I’ve been. But I’ve learned a lot.” Evans had four basic objectives as president: build on the success of past president to try to provide continuity; educate the community about how much the chamber does; build the 'membership; and build relationships with other groups in town like the town board to work together. These objectives, Evans feels have been accomplished. The chamber has maintained some of the earlier projects by having quarterly luncheons to discuss timely topics that affect Syracuse; the membership is at an all time high with 117 members and more prospects; and joining hands with the town board and Syracuse-Wawasee Area Development Company in a joint effort to provide representation on the board of Kosciusko Development Inc. “Now that my year is finished, I have only one objective: that is to give this gavel to Jeanne Gardiner,” commented Evans. Mrs. Gardiner commented she was looking forward to the day she would take over as president, but, as yae tjme grew closer “I found Jim smiling more and began wondering why.” It was noted Evans will be president of the Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Board of Directors. - The new president briefly commentedon Evans’ year as president.
