Last Monday, our club hosted a Cluster Meeting at the Newborough Bowling Club. Representatives from the Rotary Clubs of Traralgon, Traralgon Central, Hazelwood and Moe attended, along with members from the Inner Wheel Club of Moe.
The evening was originally planned as an opportunity to hear about the history of the Latrobe Valley Express. Unfortunately, our guest speaker was unable to attend, resulting in a last minute change of plans. What began as a presentation evening quickly evolved into a successful Cluster Meeting.
District Governor Emma Clark, together with District Governor Elect Murray Wilson and District Governor Nominee Maree McPherson, stepped in at short notice to provide an engaging and informative presentation. Their insights into current Rotary initiatives, as well as future strategies and priorities for the organisation, generated considerable interest among all those in attendance.
The evening attracted approximately 50 guests and provided a wonderful opportunity for members from neighbouring clubs to connect, exchange ideas and enjoy fellowship. The success of the gathering also renewed enthusiasm for future cluster meetings, highlighting the benefits of coming together to share experiences and strengthen Rotary connections.
