Greetings all and welcome to the new Rotary year!
Firstly, a big thank you to Immediate Past President Heather and the incredible amount of work she has done over the last 2 years. The task has not been easy, and many goals were both set and achieved.

International, Vocational, & Community Service. Congratulations!

Over the weekend the District Changeover was also held via Zoom as we saw the handover from IPDG Ros to our new DG Patrice. As part of the changeover, the Rotary Club of Beenleigh was awarded the prestigious District Governor’s Trophy by outgoing DG Ros Kelly. This is awarded to the club in the District which in the opinion of the District Governor has contributed most to the ideals of Rotary in the District. It is an absolute honour to be the club on the receiving end of this recognition.
I had the pleasure of joining the Rotary Club of Loganholme on Sunday for their changeover celebrations as President Barb continues for another year at the helm. Congratulations to Barb and her board. We look forward to continuing to work closely with our friends at Loganholme throughout the year.
We are hoping that we will soon be able to begin meeting face-to-face at Club Beenleigh again. I am sure we all look forward to that and the fellowship of being together again.
We have received some notification that Bunnings BBQs will soon begin trialling in a new format, and we will share more info as it comes to hand.
This year, we celebrate the 100-year celebrations of Rotary in Australia and New Zealand. To celebrate the launch of the R100 Baton Relay, you are invited to join us via Zoom from Government House, Canberra in the presence of Governor-General and Mrs Hurley this Friday 10th July from 12-noon to 1pm. There will also be a special performance by Leo Sayer. I encourage everyone to register to take part by registering to watch the zoom proceedings here.
I look forward to an excellent 12-months ahead with you all in opening opportunities in our communities.
Yours in Rotary Service,
