DG's
WEEKLY message
My Fellow Rotarians,
I am starting this weeks message to
report on our visit to the RC Melbourne last week
when Mev Connell, resplendent in his kilt, was piped to the podium for
his induction by outgoing President Anne Jacques. This week we attended
my club Kyneton on Monday for the induction of Roy Gibbs and the club
choir were in good voice. Imagine my surprise when I was presented with
new number plates for my car DG 9800! On Tuesday we were at Southbank
where Gordon Hastie took the reins and Wednesday
was our first day off since returning from Chicago.
On Thursday we visited Footscray the
fourth Club chartered in our District in 1937 and
what a great history they have. Emanuel Tumino is their new resident and
the entertainment was provided by the Desperados - talented club
members. Friday it was up to Bendigo Sandhurst
where in a Cocktail Party format Martin Ruffell was inducted.
Back to Bendigo Strathdale on Saturday night for Gary Jones to accept
the honour to lead his club for 2005/06.
On Sunday I attended the opening of the
Centenary project of the RC Woodend, the reinstatement of Old Bills horse
trough in the centre of the town. It was bitterly cold but well attended
by the community with some on horseback to sample the water.
At each Changeover there have been PHF
recognitions presented and I ask that all Club Secretaries let the
e-Zine Editor know their Club's awardees as I would like to acknowledge
them all in the last e-Zine for each month.
The Assistant Governors have
commenced their Club visits in preparation for my Club
visits which will commence on the 25th July. Have
a great time in your club this week.
DG John Wigley

Rotary
Information - From the RI site
Carl-Wilhelm
Stenhammar,
the first RI president of Rotary's second century, took office on 1
July, against the backdrop of a successful centennial year marked by
worldwide celebrations of the ideals and initiatives that have driven
the organization's expansion into 168 countries.
Going back to the basics,
Stenhammar said, can help clubs and districts embrace the challenge
and opportunity presented by Rotary's motto, Service Above Self, which
also is the 2005-06 RI theme.
Noting that the United Nations, a long-time partner of Rotary, has
chosen water and literacy as part of its goals through 2015, Stenhammar
said that clubs and districts can achieve much more if they cooperate
with other organizations.
At the new RI president's initiative, The Rotary Foundation of Rotary
International starts a new century of service with its first female
trustee, Carolyn E. Jones, of Anchorage, Alaska, USA. Believing that
involving women at all levels of Rotary leadership makes good business
sense, he also has appointed female Rotarians to chair the Membership
Development and Retention Committee, Literacy Resource Group, and
Public Image Resource Group.
Also assuming office on 1 July were Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair
Frank J. Devlyn, of the Rotary Club of Anáhuac, D.F., Mexico; RI Vice
President Serge Gouteyron, of the Rotary Club of Denain-Bouchain, Nord,
France; and RI Treasurer Jocelyn I. Bolante, of the Rotary Club of
Parañaque South, Metro Manila, Philippines.
