Special Guests included NSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, Local Federal MP, Trent Zimmerman, District Governor, Susan Wakefield. Our Tom Sweeney, as usual, did a fantastic job in MCing the night. Welcoming speech by President Sue, followed by congratulation speeches made by the Premier and Trent Zimmerman. Harold and Angelo spoke on the history and achievements of the Club and distinguished Club members. While our special Guest Speaker, in Club member, Michael McQueen, spoke on the importance of making Rotary relevant in today's changing world. But the highlight of the night was the special presentation made to our foundation, and still very activeClub member in Cyril Clark, who received a ruby Paul Harris Pin for his incredible contribution to the Club over the years.
