Changeover Night will be a night of celebration. Along with an opportunity to socialise with our partners and guests, we will in addition be inducting a new member, awarding the Pauline Haslemore Trophy, acknowledging the year past and introducing incoming Lee-Ann as she embarks on her year as President of the Rotary Club of Queenstown.
There will be a 2 course dinner, a cheeky red and white wine on the tables, along with fruit juice and tea and coffee.
Cost per person for this event will be $45.00.
My grandpa started walking
Five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old
And we have no idea where the hell he is.
My Thanks:
This is my last Bulletin, and this week signals the end of my term as your Club President. In my address to the Club at last year’s changeover I stated the following:
When it is all shaken down what will always be important to me is you the members of the Rotary Club of Queenstown. My only aspiration is to fulfill a task that is in line with your aspirations, because in my mind this is your club, not mine, therefore the year ahead should be your year, not mine.
So with respect to the year ahead let me know your views, how can we be united in the notion of adding value to this club, what is your role in supporting me to add value, how do we change the fortunes of this club, and let’s remember to have some fun while navigating the landscape ahead of us this year.
Beyond that I simply seek your support and understanding that I do not wish to be carrying the burden of this Club’s future on my own. Thank you for your confidence to elect me to this role, I trust your faith in me is rewarded.
So here we are a year later, and in summary, am I entitled to say job done. The Rotary Club of Queenstown has done some good stuff in fulfilling those aspirations, we have added value to the Club, we have grown the membership of the Club, we have certainly had some fun as a Club, and to that end can I say I have certainly enjoyed the opportunity. We have navigated the landscape including dealing with a global pandemic that impacted each of you at some level, along with the Club as a whole. You have provided me the support and as such ensured that we have all accepted the challenge and we have collectively carried the burden of ensuring this Club’s future.
So as I sign out, thank you to each of you for the support that you have given me. Your support has been very evident and I will remain extremely appreciative for this. I do need to acknowledge my Board and thank each one of you for the commitment and contributions you have made to ensuring that this year has been a success.
So to that end on Tuesday night I will hand over the baton to a new President and so take this opportunity to wish President Lee-Ann and her team the best for the year ahead. I can now join the ranks of the Past Presidents comforted in the knowledge that there is nothing more past than a Past President.
So without the workload of Rotary, I can only imagine that this may well be my view of the World. Yea !!!
Take care, stay safe, and as always let us know if there is any support required during the week, we are as always only too willing to assist.
See you all on Tuesday night.
Kia kaha.
