Our Change Over was held at The Monarch, Princes Gate Hotel, Rotorua on Saturday, 22 June. After the formalities, presentation of awards and dinner Rosie, Anne and Sue performed the Charleston, which was hilarious and got a standing ovation.
Here’s the link to our Facebook page, it’s been uploaded to YouTube and we would love you to click on it so we increase our hits:

After the Charleston our very own Sunrise Rockers performed late into the night. Everyone went home with big smiles on their faces and couldn’t wait to see the photos on Facebook.

The Rotary Rotorua Sunrise mission this year is:
Our mission is to be an engaged, action orientated, vibrant club with passionate members that shine and have fun!
Come dance with me! Members will dance if they are engaged and having fun. We have got to have the music to dance to – that’s where fellowship is important. “Let’s feel good, doing good.”

With the Rotary year ending on 30 June and a new year commencing on 1 July, the weeks either side are a time where all clubs hold Changeover events to celebrate the achievements of the past year, recognise the contribution of members, especially those who help leadership positions during the year, and welcome in the new team. These are events in themselves attended by members, their partners and often the wider family and guests from the community, particularly those with a close association with the club.
Rotarians know how to party! This means the themes that are adopted by clubs around the country for their Changeovers are as varied as there are clubs.
