Well one day to our Changeover.  There are many coming and you will not be disappointed by attending with the intention of celebrating our club’s achievements.  The District Changeover was a great success and I noted with pleasure a good turnout of Glenferrie Rotarians.  

I am looking forward to formally finishing off the last Rotary year and get on with the new year.   Our new Board has already met last Tuesday and we are on the way to a good year.  I appreciate the generosity of our club and the sacrifice of the Board members and their committees to assist me in this up coming year.

The American writer Sam Keen is quoted as saying “We can't build a good society on the principles of self-interest and entitlement alone. Without generosity there can be no community. Without the kindness of strangers, a society is turned into an armed camp....The atmosphere of compassion that transforms a mass of alienated individuals into a caring community is created by countless acts of kindness and charitable foresight.”
