22.01.2022 Thank you DG Ros for your leadership and encouragement during 2019-2020. It has been a different last 3 months for the Rotary year.

20.01.2022 This is the Rotary 100 Baton Launch Presentation. To save some time you should fast forward about 15 minutes to the actual start of the presentation.

18.01.2022 Housekeeping day at DIK. A good attendance of Rotarians and a lot was achieved. John, Camilla and Terry at the end of the morning. Next housekeeping day is 27 June.

18.01.2022 At our first face to face meeting since March this year we were pleased to welcome a new member. Dinmohamed (Din) Karim had been a valued member of our club for 6 years up until December 2008 when he was obliged to resign as he and his family moved to Zimbabwe. Din retained connections with Rotary and on settling back into Australia he sought to re-establish his association with our club. Welcome back Din.

18.01.2022 As President Adrian has suggested, if every member introduced just one new member this year, just think of what we could achieve. #RotaryPeopleOfAction
