(January – Vocational services)

Welcome back all to a potentially busy year. 
 
Code Brown is not a good way to start the year. Some government official has a funny sense of humour since “brown” is the colour of the proverbial hitting the fan! We must be prepared for changes in our lifestyles and how we will conduct this club. Challenges are what make life interesting, overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. (A. P. J. Abdul Kalam)​. So, another year of the same.
 
Today is a special day for me – being my birthday on this publication date, so I hope to have my feet up and enjoy growing older! Better than the alternative.

Geoffrey Widmer and wife Kay joined the Rotary Club of Glenferrie just a short time ago, but he and Kay have already delivered their Member Behind the Badge talks. Both Geoff and Kay had stories which absorbed and intrigued those fortunate enough to be at that club meeting. One topic grasped people's imagination even more tightly. Geoff, a fluent Spanish speaker, was until recently the Honorary Consul in Melbourne for the Republic of Colombia. Geoff returns at this, our first meeting for the year,  to expand upon his remarkable experiences in this fascinating role. ¡No te lo pierdas, amigos!
