Changeover nights are always special, and tonight was another great night.

 at the Rotary Club of Mount Lawley.

It was terrific to see Interact students there and to see Larry Manno

 honoured for his ongoing commitment to their club of future Rotaractors.

 Other Rotarians were also honoured.

 with Paul Harris Fellowships for their tireless service.

Congratulations

to Past President Russell for a good year

 and all the best to President Chetan for a great year ahead.

 Assistant Governor Jane Marie O'Leary

 has been a terrific support to their club too,

Changed over!

 Well, a little bit!

Rotary clubs (all over the world we would guess)

 have had a tough couple of years –

 but we are rebuilding!

We have welcomed three new members.

with three more ready to be inducted in the next month!

We had a potluck dinner

(lucky it’s been a bit like southern winter weather last week!)

 at Andrea and Fritz’s home.

 










Changeover or Continuation –

 it was a great lunch with splendid company.

 DG Ineke presented PHF medals to Peter Burns and Roger Veary.

 AG Jane O'Leary was also in attendance.
