The Rotary Club of Ascot Handover Meeting was held on Sunday 14 July at The Fire House Bar & Restaurant on Great Eastern Highway, Belmont.
For the first time this was a breakfast meeting and was very successful.
Past President Michael Evans gave a summary of the past year’s events and highlighted all the areas our club has supported over many years plus our achievements during his time as President. We saw funds raised and distributed accordingly to both The Rotary Foundation and various projects the club has been working on.
Further highlights on the day were 3 Paul Harris Fellows being awarded to none other than Ron Alexander, Gerry McLernon and Max Morrell. As Max was unable to attend our handover this was presented at our first meeting with all detail below in our first bulletin.
In addition to these awards, Rotarian of the Year was awarded to Max Morrell based on his excellent efforts during his term as Vocational Director.
The Rotary Club of Ascot awarded Centurion Certificates at the meeting. Our club is proud to be one of very few, if not the only one in WA to be able to boast 100% member participation in this program, which encourages members to personally donate US$100 per year to The Rotary Foundation.
Finally AG Joe Byl undertook the induction of our newest President Julia Temby who will proudly guide our club through 2013-2014.
As her first duty our President introduced her new board.
