The Rotary Wheel will turn again on Tuesday evening as the club welcomes its new leadership team, and celebrates the accomplishments of a defining year under President Thelma. In a year themed by Rotary connections, and challenged like no other by the global pandemic, members of the Rotary Club of Glenferrie have made a difference to the lives of many, from school children in Boroondara benefitting from the Chances Scholarship Program, young mothers nurtured through the Boroondara Family Network, villagers on Sumba, Indonesia, who have been restored to good health and productive life through the Sumba Eye Program, or young indigenous people who have learned a new trade through the Bike Rescue Program. Working collaboratively with local government, community organisations and other Rotary clubs, and leveraging the power of The Rotary Foundation, the club's activities have honoured the theme: Rotary Connects the World.
On Tuesday evening, a new team under President 2020-2021 Mark Ellis AM will assume the mantle of leadership.Changeover is the most important night in the Rotary calendar, when members take time to reflect on what has been achieved, to honour the contributions of some outstanding people and celebrate the opportunities that Rotary membership presents.
This year we will come together via Zoom for Changeover, which means that you don't have to be in Melbourne to attend! No parking worries, no need to come out on a cold, wet Melbourne night, no worries about whether your waistline allows you to eat dessert, and no charge!
But as always for Changeover, it is important that you register. If you haven't registered already, email Club Service Director Richard Blakeman by close of business Monday June 15th and he will be pleased to complete your registration for you.
Time to say thank you, to look forward and to be inspired. See you at Changeover 2020, Tuesday June 16th, 7:15pm for 7:30pm sharp.
