Happy New -Rotary- Year
 
Congratulations and thanks to those who organised the Change-Over dinner. 
 
Thank you to Past-President Kelly who has been our captain for the last year. You have done a wonderful job, and we are so lucky to have such a compassionate person within our club.
 
 
 
Welcome President Peter!
We look forward to another positive year with you at the helm!
 
Congratulations to Terry O'Neill and Janet Blackley on receiving Paul Harris Fellow Recognition. It is well deserved!
 
Congratulations to Tony Austin who received international recognition for his PNG humanitarian work. DG Lesley Shedden attended the event to present Tony with the 'Service Above Self' award.
 
"The Service Above Self Award is Rotary International's highest individual honour for Rotarians. It recognizes Rotarians and Rotaractors who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to humanitarian service through Rotary, emphasizing personal volunteer efforts and active involvement in helping others. The award is internationally competitive, with a limit of 150 recipients worldwide each year, and no more than one recipient from each district"
