The social evening was addressed by District Governor Elect Geraldine Rurenga, bringing a youthful and inspiring vision of how our District will progress.  Riddle answer: Remove the letter S and you have IX which is 9 in roman numerals
 
On the podium beside her, there is an artwork by the RC of Cooma.  The coloured world being the logo for 21/22, the yellow sunflowers for the Ukraine, and the coloured ribbon signifying the 7 avenues of service.
