With only two weeks to go until Christmas, we held our last dinner meeting of the year on Monday where our outgoing club President, Len Cairns, handed over the Chain of Office to myself who will lead the club as President till June 30th 2026.
Outgoing Secretary, Maureen Bishop, handed over the Secretarial duties to incoming Secretary,
Roger Taylor. Roger will be my Secretary till the end of the Rotary year.
Maureen has put together a flyer, designed to promote The Rotary Club of Moe. Once printed, these will be distributed to members for placement in local businesses around town.
Roger Taylor gave an update on our upcoming golf day in March 2026. New raffle books are now
being distributed, so please reach out to Bill Connell for raffle books to sell.
Our next fund-raising effort is the BBQ to be held at Energy Australia on December 17th , 2025.
Remember our social dinner night, to be held at Penny Lane Wine Bar in Moe on Saturday 20th of December at 5.30 pm. Hope to see you all there
I wish you all a very merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you at our Welcome Back BBQ in the Botanic Gardens on Monday 12th January 2026

Handover to New President

Jot down the details (address and business particulars.) Our committee will chase up any good leads in the new year.
