The Kenmore Community Club Board of Directors bid farewell and thank you to long-time board members Omur Muhittinoglu and Bharati Khandekar who have chosen to step down
from the board after 7 and 5 years of service respectively.
Omur served as secretary from 2015 to 2017 and as vice president from 2017 to 2022. During that time, Omur was instrumental in helping with legal compliance issues for the club, worked the insurance requirements, the rewrite of the constitution and bylaws and shepherded the club through the years-long process of filing for and achieving approval of the club's 501c3 status.
Bharati served as Trustee-at-Large and Regular Trustee from 2017 to 2022. She was always ready to help out on whatever projects the club undertook and was responsible for membership services sending out welcome letters and membership pins to new members.
Board President Michael O'Leary expressed the board's gratitude.
"We all know that being a volunteer board member for organizations such as the Kenmore Commnity Club can often be a thankless task, and it always consumes much more time than one might think," O'Leary said. "Omur and Bharati's contributions have been invaluable in keeping the Kenmore Community Club a vibrant and valued community resource."
