Albany
Rotary, located on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand, has something
special going for it. Each of the Presidents for the last four years has been a
Smith!
Grant
was the first Smith President in 2010-11, followed by President Nigel Smith in
2011-12, then by President Natalie Smith in 2012-13, and now current President
Sarah Smith for 2013-14.
“At
the time when we were selecting our President we were making jokes about how
many Smiths in a row we could have. But each year the best candidate was
chosen, and it just happened to be another Smith!” said current Albany Rotary
President Sarah Smith.
Albany
Rotary have just completed their major fund raising event for the year which
was the Coatesville Garden Ramble 2013, and they took the opportunity to get
all of the President Smiths together for a photo memento of this special
occasion.
However
the Smith presidential reign will come to an end in 2014-15, as President-elect
Rebecca Stilton will take over as Albany Rotary President.
However
this could be another new trend as Rebecca will be the third female President
in a row for Albany Rotary.
Who
could be next?
