Club News and Updates
President's Report:
With no meetings over the past couple of weeks, there isn’t a lot to report. However,
Secretary Rog and I did visit the Rotary Club of Morwell last Thursday night and enjoyed a
great evening of fellowship with our Morwell friends.
Morwell recently welcomed two new members from Ghana, who were the guest presenters
for the evening. Both are school teachers in the Morwell area, and they shared their life
stories — including where they were born and raised, their family backgrounds, their
education, and the challenges of growing up with very limited school facilities.
Overall, it was a very informative presentation, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
Just a quick reminder to check the notices above — especially the details about our
upcoming Changeover.
Also, take a moment to enjoy the new feature below that will be appearing in our weekly
Bulletins — “A Trip Down Memory Lane.” It’s a great opportunity to read some of the
stories that shaped our Club in years gone by.
