PRESIDENT'S COLUMN

Hello, Members and our Rotary Friends receiving this eBulletin.
This is my first President’s Message, because my year as your President commenced on Monday evening 27th June 2022.   A great night was had by all at the Union Hotel, Nth Sydney!
I am really looking forward to my year!  And I am very thankful that the Board of Directors are all remaining in their respective portfolios, I thank them all, this will help me enormously!  
 
The Rotary theme for my Rotary year is 'Imagine Rotary'.   Can you imagine what we could achieve this year!  
During the night, several recipients received a presentation of ‘Pride of Workmanship' Awards.  See Photos in 'Stories' below.   But most important for the Club a new member Kevin was inducted!  We all wish you Kevin, a happy experience as a Rotarian!

President's Extra Message
 
June's theme is Rotary Fellowships Month!
June is designated Rotary Fellowships Month to recognize the importance of international fellowship and goodwill among Rotarians with similar recreational and vocational interests, promote increased participation in fellowships, and increase understanding of this program.

What are the benefits for Rotarians in joining the Rotary Fellowships? Fellowship provides opportunities for Rotarians to make lasting friendships outside their own Club, District or country. Fellowships contribute to the advancement of world understanding and peace. Also, Fellowships serve as an incentive for attracting new members to Rotary and retaining our existing members. Indeed, Rotary Fellowship, together with the Rotarian Action Groups, serve as an effective tool in promoting membership development and should be actively promoted in our Districts.
 
There are many Fellowships that would be of interest to our members, and they are detailed on http://www.rotary.org/fellowships.
