Newsletter for the Rotary Club of Western Endeavour - Issue No.: 824 Issue Date: 16 Sep, 2018

Club members enjoyed a wonderful Changeover Dinner last  Sunday at Hillarys Yacht Club.  We were fortunate that nearly all members could attend and we accepted with regret apologies from only Harry Nesbitt & Betty, Barrie Heald & Cath and Chris Ford & Julie.

We acknowledged a number of special guests, including

Immediate Past President Laurie was thanked and farewelled with an hilarious and insightful roast from Master Roaster Geoff Ross- a "Smartypants" quiz!  Needless to say, Laurie got all (I think) of the semi-serious questions right, and none of the comical ones!

It was then my pleasure to introduce our Team leaders  to guide us on our 2018-19 journey "Be the Inspiration":

Mr Tony Parker, President
Mr Byron Williamson, President Elect
PP Mr Barrie Heald, Secretary
PP Mr Michael Lee, Treasurer
Ms Vicky Rowe, Director Club Service
PP Ms Jane O'Leary, Director Fund Raising and Bulletin Editor
PP Mr John Boxall, Director Community Service and Rotary Foundation
