2008-2009 Club President Victor Currie was treated to an Oscar-themed sendoff and roast at the annual presidential Demotion Night. Currie was greated by hoards of camera-bearing paparazzi as he entered walking down the red carpet, followed by an awards ceremony in which Currie somehow ended up with all the statues.
At the end, Currie thanked the club members and his Board for a great year, then passed on the President's Pin to 2009-2010 President Marc Aarons, who officially takes the reigns July 1.
