Dear Fellow Rotarians,
I feel absolutely privileged to have had the opportunity to spend the past 6 days in Canberra at the Zone 8 District Governor Nominee's training and Zone 8 Conference.
It provided an opportunity to meet so many new people from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands and was the most inspirational, informative and motivating event I have ever attended.
Admittedly, I was feeling a little nervous and uncertain prior to leaving for Canberra, however those feelings have now been replaced by enthusiasm and excitement about my future Rotary experience.
The theme 'Better Together' certainly rang true! The Conference was a combined event of Rotaracters & Rotarians, all of whom are talented, passionate, full of energy and enthusiasm.
Hence the reason Rotaract and Rotary compliment each other and are successful in making such a difference to the lives of so many people around the world.
There was so much positivity and excitement throughout the entire 6 days, much of it due to the fact that we were all able to meet and socialise in person once again.
It was wonderful to have Brian Ashworth and Peter Faulkner at the Showcase, there was a great deal of interest and endless number of positive comments about the SkyHydrants.
The END POLIO walk was a fabulous end to an incredible experience.
Some of us will be attending the Rotary Club of Casey's 'Wheelchairs for Kids' event tomorrow night which I'm sure will be a very successful fundraiser.
On behalf of all our club members, I wish Cherie Ramsay a very speedy recovery from a recent back problem.
I hope everyone else is staying healthy and well.
On a final note, after hearing lots of stories about Rotary Clubs and projects it reinforces how fortunate we are to be members of such a great club.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again very soon.
Kind regards,
Leanne
