On the 28th June, the District Changeover took place at the historic Landsdowne House in Masterton. John Cole, Jaye Howey and Brian Klee attended this event to farewell John Mohi and welcome Gillian Jones as the new District Governor.
World President's Address:
RI President-elect Holger Knaack’s theme for 2020-21, Rotary Opens Opportunities, asks Rotarians to create opportunities that strengthen their leadership, help put service ideas into action, and improve the lives of those in need. To listen to his full address, click HERE.
President Robert and members warmly welcomed Robin Aitken at the end of June, as our newest Member. He said his memory of Graeme Blick's mantra, “Rotarians are good people, doing good things”, was still fresh in his mind.
What a very memorable evening! Led in by President, Robert Sinclair, a Scottish cord piped in the Haggis. This was superbly orchestrated by Kevin Nelson, who then recited Robbie Burns' famous poem.
"I wanted a perfect ending, now I've learned the hard way. That some poems don't rhyme and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, taking chances and having to change. Taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. So take ownership and have fun, and more importantly, take people with you who share the same dream."
Please study and plan ahead, especially if you are on duty to write a Bulletin Contribution. A reminder that it's also your responsibility to find a replacement if you are unable to fulfill your duty.
