Change Over Dinner
June 28th, 2010 · Comments Off · Main
On Saturday Night
Brett Jenkinson was
inducted in as Club
President at the
Annual Change Over
Dinner.
About 20 members
and guests attended
the Dinner at The Grain Restaurant to witness
the induction. Brett said he was looking forward
leading the club through the next Rotary year
and that he had some big shoes to fill.
Both Brett and Past President Paul also had some
surprises up their sleeves when together they
decided to present not one Paul Harris Fellow as
club members were expecting but two.
Both Warwick Pease and Tracy Dance are very
honoured to be recognised by their fellow Club
members as dedicated and passionate Rotarians
worthy of this award.
On a sadder note the Club also had to say their
farewells to Lucy Graham who has been a
member of the club for just under 2 years. Lucy
is moving back to Melbourne to further her
career.
