CHANGEOVER DINNER HELD ON 26.06.17 AT AVOCA TREETOPS RESTAURANT

The dinner was a great night filled with many speeches and Powerpoint presentations. The toast to Rotary International was given by AG David Rivett and Filippa Jeppsson Wall our exchange student from Sweden gave a wonderful farewell PP presentation. It was great to see the three host families present including our club exchange student Abbey McGill. Sandy Hunt-Sharman was surprised to be awarded a Paul Harris fellowship but much deserved for her tireless contribution to our club. President John was presented by PDG and Australian Rotary Health Director, Graeme Davies with a Rotary Health friendship pin. President John Heuston talked about the year in review before the induction of our new President Christine Owen. Christine showed a video from the new incoming RI President, Ian H.S. Riseley who is a member of the Rotary Club of Sandringham, Victoria. Christine talked about the new theme of ‘Making a Difference’ and how the Rotary club of Kincumber can make a difference in the new Rotary Year of 2017-18.
