Rick Carter:
Farewell and Best Wishes to Our Chapter Photographer

By Debra Holm

Chapter 78 bid farewell and best wishes to Rick Carter, our beloved photographer, at our August meeting. His presence behind the camera has been a constant at our events for several years, capturing countless memories that we will cherish forever.

To express our gratitude for his invaluable contributions, the chapter presented Rick with a commemorative plaque crafted by James McLanahan. Art Dolick and his wife Lani generously provided two lovingly decorated scrumptious cakes by King’s Bakery in Torrance, that were enjoyed by all. These tokens of appreciation were a small way to acknowledge the impact Rick has had on our chapter.

We will miss Rick’s talent, his friendship, and his unwavering commitment to our community. As he embarks on this new chapter of his life, we wish him all the best.
