The Fayette County Civitan Club has elected new officers for the 2007-2008 fiscal year. These new officers will provide leadership for the Fayette County Civitan Club, as well as directing community service projects, organizing fundraisers and programming club meetings.

The new officers are as follows: president Carl Hall, president-elect Chuck Clanton, immediate past president David Tolbert, vice president David Joslin, secretary Darryl Douglass, treasurer John Webster, chaplain Bill Roberts, Sgt. at Arms John Mulhern and directors Bob Chatham, Bill Grist, Mike Jones and Carl Burrell.

Tolbert said he feels the newly inducted leaders are going to have a year of success in being led by Hall and Clanton to support the local organizations that the Fayette County Civitan Club continues to help. The Fayette County Civitan Club was chartered in 1970 and has undertaken numerous service projects to improve the quality of life in the Fayette County community since their formation.

The induction of officers was officiated by Charles Ballard, a charter member of the Fayette County Civitan Club. The evening also offered a time of honoring the retiring member, Ernie Cannington, after 27 years of service to the club.

Local Civitan clubs meet a wide variety of needs in their communities, with an emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities. The Civitan International Foundation continues this mission with a $20 million dollar commitment to its flagship project, the Civitan International Research Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Civitan is an international association of local community service clubs. Started in Birmingham, Ala. in 1917, Civitan has become one of the world’s leading volunteer service organizations, with more than 40,000 men, women and youth in 24 countries.
