One club a great example of what Rotary clubs all achieve

It’s July, the traditional month for the Cromwell Rotary Club’s ‘changeover’. This annual event includes the appointment of a new president and new directors, to carry the club forward into 2015.

 

Some 80 Rotarians and guests attended the function, held this year, at The Nose Restaurant. Tony Quinn, creator of the Highlands MotorSport Park, was the guest speaker. Apart from the ‘formal’ handover, two members; John Angus and Murray Kennedy, were presented with the prestigious Rotary ‘Paul Harris Fellowship’ award. This award is given to those who have shown outstanding service to their local and wider communities.

 

Over $44,000 was raised by the club in the last 12 months, benefitting many local and international good-causes. This included over $12000 donated to local youth and activities projects. Rotarians spent over 1700 volunteer-hours fundraising. Cromwell Rotary is again grateful for the massive support received from local businesses and the wider community.
