Bonsoir Mesdames et Messieurs
Tonight is the last time we will welcome Marie to our meeting and on behalf of the club I have been given the job of saying goodbye.
Changeover 2018
What a Wonderful celebration of a great organisation! More than 90 Rotarians and guests joined together to mark the transition from president 57 to 58. Our DG, two AGs, 5 neighbouring presidents, 2 local body politicians, family and friends added to the occasion.
I would like to thank everyone who went to such great lengths to decorate the room and tables in the colours of our new international President’s them of “Be the inspiration.”
James Donovan our laconic MC was the entertainment for the evening and kept us all laughing and wondering what’s happening next. An excellent choice!
I really like the way our Rotary club acknowledges special people in our community. Last night it was Judy Pascoe and Dorothy Osborne and I would like to endorse the comments of Colin Monk and John Osborne who made the commendations in each case. We are fortunate to have such wonderful people in our community.
Thank you to all of you for your support. Lets enjoy this year together.

Our guest speaker this week was Shefali Mehta talking to us about Interplast. Shefali is one of those people who make you wonder how they do it.
Last Saturday Rotary members from Howick and Sommerville, members of the Chinese association, and members of the public took part in our annual tree planting at this wonderful asset to our community.
Introducing our outgoing exchange student for the coming year. Her name is Madita Pleiss.
