Bernie's Brief
 

As we approach the close of another Rotary year, it is an excellent time to reflect on our achievements, celebrate our successes, and thank everyone who has contributed their time, talents, and resources.

The accomplishments of our club are the result of teamwork, enthusiasm, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference.

I encourage all members to continue engaging in our upcoming projects and events. Together, we can build on our successes and create even greater opportunities to serve our community and support those who need us most.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to Rotary and for the spirit of friendship and service that makes our club so special.

CHANGEOVER
Changeover
 
WHAT IS CHANGEOVER?
 

A Rotary Club Changeover is a special event where the Club formally marks the end of one Rotary year and the beginning of the next.

During the Changeover, the outgoing President reflects on the year that has been, celebrates the Club’s achievements, and thanks the Board, members and supporters for their contributions.

The incoming President is then officially welcomed into the role, along with the new Board and office bearers. It is also a chance to acknowledge members, present awards or special recognitions, and share plans or goals for the year ahead.

In simple terms, a Changeover is both a celebration and a handover, recognising the work of the past year while looking forward to the next chapter for the Club.
