Hello Rotarians and web visitors
I extend my appreciation to all those who could attend our district Changeover on Saturday 25 June, and I especially want to thank my Rotary Club for their hosting and for their attendance. Of course they mostly came along for the induction of Orange Daybreak's President Joanne McRae! And to Jo and outgoing President Graeme I also thank you for a great night.

This year we have a meaningful and descriptive theme "Rotary Serving Humanity". We have a strong tradition in our District (for new comers to Rotary and to this site, our 'District' covers about 25 population centres in Wiradjuri country spanning the country from Oberon to Lake Cargelligo and Molong to Henty) of service and this can only strengthen over time.

As Governor of the District and with our Leadership team (many of whom are in the photo above) Ann and I will be visiting each Rotarian's club for breakfast, lunch or dinner over the period July to October. So I look forward to meeting you all, hearing about your plans for the future and learning how our team can assist in your endeavours.
