A Power bar was her sweet gift and her positive reply as to whether she would fulfill her duties to the best of her abilities.
The final gift was given to Immediate Past President Brian Maroney. He was presented with a Whatchamacallit bar, humorously suggesting that his name would be soon forgotten as his term ends; therefore, he would be referred to as whatchamacallit.
