What a splendid Club Changeover, with good fellowship, fine food and a comprehensive review of Past President Grahame’s very successful year.

It was a pleasure to see so many in attendance, including former members, their partners and a vibrant group from the Breakfast Point Club.

The attendance of Mayor Keith Kwon, State Member Virginia Judge and Federal Member John Murphy, added a distinguished charm to the evening.

It was also an honour to have District Governor Elect Paul Reid and Julia, share in the spirit of the evening.

The goodwill and warmth generated from the evening was expressed by the marvellous contribution of over $1300.00 being achieved from the raffle and sergeant.

Highlights of the evening were the investiture of former Rotary member and community service identity, Tim Wynn Jones, with a Paul Harris Fellow and the awarding to Niall King of the Strathfield Rotary Service Above Self Award for 2008-2009.

PDG David Croft and Margaret, PDG Harley Tarrant, PP Roger Vince and Janice, Suzanne & myself are looking forward to representing our club at the District Changeover, this Saturday, July 4, when the reins will be passed from DG Paul Erickson to DGE Paul Reid.

The 2009-2010 theme is “The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands”, and members of the club have already responded to the challenge, with Connie Galletta, Peter Smith, Ray McCluskie and Godfrey Isouard conducting an interview with an applicant for the 2010 NYSF.

Niall King is seeking volunteers to assist with barbeque duties during the 24 hour Mega Swim at Sydney Olympic Aquatic Centre, this Saturday July 4, from 10am to Sunday 10am. We will be sharing duties with members from the Sydney, Concord & Breakfast Point Clubs.

Finally, may I extend my thanks to everyone who has expressed their good wishes for the coming year, I feel greatly encouraged by your support.

President Kevin
