President’s Party a roaring good time for Rotarians
During a recent gavel exchange, history was written once again as Marie Gnage took the helm to represent the Rotary Club of Jacksonville as its fearless leader for the 2023-24 Rotary Year. Rotarians in attendance enjoyed a Roaring 20’s theme, complete with food, libations and entertaining Jazz by the John Lumpkin Trio and a special guest appearance by two-time Grammy-winning singer Kendra Foster, Gnage’s daughter.
For Gnage, this historic moment was special for her as she humbly accepted her plaque and made mention that she was honored to reach this milestone, while celebrating the legacy of other African American leaders in an appropriate place for the occasion. She thanked her husband, her youngest sister, her daughter and others and recognized those that have laid a historic foundation where the “Harlem of the South” was captured in essence via the backdrop of history and achievements showcased at the Ritz Theatre and Museum.
