Dear members of our unique rotary club,

 

 I have been in rotary for near on 34 years . I have dug aggies, built buildings, laid pavers, painted houses, made gardens, cooked dinners, sizzled
sausages, and have been a lone sergeant many times . But this job is the most scary , the most
challenging ,the most prestigious one that you have entrusted me with. Thank you !!!

 

I feel very honoured and out of my depth . I was raised to be a bushie, and still am, even though a
city dweller . As you know I don’t usually have much to say, don’t ask questions and mind my own
business. But this is about to change.  WHY?  Because I rejoice in the friendship of each one of you,
because I value each one of you for your many skills and dedication to RCTGC because we have a
unique club and a unique atmosphere because I want each one of you to enjoy a fulfilling year of
comradery and meaningful participation in rotary. Each one of you is an
important tooth in the Rotary International wheel

 

This job is impossible without a great deal of help. I have asked each one of you for this help .
thank you for your response.

 

You may expect me to do more talking, ask more questions, ask you to do things. If I ask you to do
something, hopefully you will say yes . If the answer is negative, no questions will be asked. WHY?
Because we all have busy lives !!!! Our attention is called upon from many sectors of life. I ask
only one thing that the sector of life that you give to rotary ---that you give it with utmost
enthusiasm and energy 100 %

 

I promise you in the best tradition of rotary that I will give my 100 % to make sure that each one of
us has the best rotary year of our lives.
