President Mark welcomed everyone and handed the meeting over to Chairman Bob Lay for the night.
With much fanfare Ricardo handed over the Sergeant’s collar and gong to Darius as the incoming Sergeant. Darius has been travelling so was not here for changeover. Ricardo charged Darius to keep control of the meetings and make sure everyone behaved themselves.
Later the fine session was well received, even if a few members were a bit confused.
Fred Edwards was presented with a much deserved recognition of 20 years continuous service with Rotary. Fred started with the now disbanded Rotary Club of Upper Beaconsfield.
Make Ups
It’s a big Rotary world out there. Please let us know if anyone attends another club or Rotary Function. It is entitled to be claimed as makeup in lieu of our own meeting. It is always good to hear what other clubs are getting up to. Even Bill and one of his lady friends (ie: Sharmaine) went and visited the Rotary Club of Casey.
