The Club held its annual Presidents changeover night on the 27 June 2024. The theme for the evening was the Magic of Rotary in the 1920’s, a reflection back to when Rotary first started in Australia with the chartering of the Rotary Club of Melbourne in 1921.
The outgoing President, Peter Higgs, outlined some of the projects completed by the club and donations given throughout the year and presenting seven PHF awards. He concluded his report by thanking his outgoing Board of Directors.
PDG Patrice Robinson then presided over the change of president ceremony with the Collar of Office passing to the new President, David Wallis.
David thanked the outgoing board for their efforts and introduced the 24/25 Board of Directors. President David briefly outlined his vison for the Club and detailed the Club’s meeting rhythm, ensuring the partners were well informed of the Club’s social calander.
Having completed the formal part of the evening attendees were entertained by the international guest singer from the Philippines, Angel Perico. While Angel sang a variety of songs, her rendition of “Wind Beneath my Wings” was particularly moving as it embodied her feelings towards to the Club’s projects within her local community.
The evening topped off a successful year for the Club and provided an excellent spring board for the Club’s endeavours for the new presidential year.
