A few words from President Wendy ...
I am so looking forward to catching up with you all face to face, finally!
Our changeover was held amidst the Covid restrictions; however, we managed a small gathering for the formal procedures, which was attended by the past & current directors of the board. This event was also attended by Jeff Neale, District 9510 Governor Elect, Bob Carmichael, Assistant Governor Group 4 & Dini Whyte, Area Governor for Area 11. With Roger’s assistance, this event was recorded & presented in our zoom changeover meeting on 22nd June. This was very different from our usual changeovers, however was attended well, allowing family from interstate & visiting Rotarians from other clubs.
The new Board was introduced & I must say, looking sensational in our new club shirts.
Board directors are as follows:- Vice President - Kevin Hales;
Secretary - Noeline Biermann, Treasurer - Julie Payne; Community - Janet Tapping; Youth - Averil Day; International - Tony McWhinney; Membership & Risk Management - Karen Mitchell; GAPE - Roger Shelden; Environment - Di Keach; Club Services - Andy Wood.
I look forward to working with you all in the coming year.
