Introducing President 2024/2025 - Geoff Cannon PHF
We commence this Rotary year 2024 to 2025 with a very busy June/July attending many Changeovers at Club & District this is wonderful time for fellowship, meeting new Rotarians & many Rotarian friends.
We wish all Rotary Clubs a successful & enjoyable year ahead.
Our club will go through some changes this year in the way we function. We plan to make meetings more interesting, using more technology to connect locally & internationally, by Introducing Hybrid meetings (these will be face to face & online) as a normal meeting format. We hope for our current members they will be able to attend meetings easier even if they are unable to travel to our meeting venue. New members may be attracted via this meeting option especially with young families that are unable to travel to all face-to-face meetings but could join online, where possible we’d encourage the family to come along.
Our district will go through an interesting time with the regionalisation pilot program over the next two years.
I would like to congratulate Terry Lillie as immediate past president and the outgoing board on a very successful year. I look forward to working closely with our new Board & the coming year.
We are planning our Board meetings to be online going forward. Our newsletter is undergoing a change to once a month.
We will focus on membership over the next few years attracting new members to support and work with current members to bring new projects and ideas that inspire all members.
We have a strong team of Friends of Rotary and continue to encourage them to feel comfortable to be involved with our club and join in on our projects. This team are very important to us as we can do many more projects with their support.
We congratulate our Macarthur Rotaract Club on being chartered on the 29th August 2024 and look forward to working with the on joint projects.
You are always welcome to attend our meetings, just contact us to advise you would like to attend either face to face or online.
