Time for a CHANGE - FINAL POST

To all those Presidents who have given of their time and talents, to those Assistant Governors and other Rotarians who have served at a District level, to all of you Bulletin Editors who have produced weekly publications for your Club and to all those who have served their Club in an admin role or as a Director - WELL DONE! 
Some of you can now step back and take a break and allow someone else to take over your role.  For others the role continues and I thank you for your willingness to continue to serve your Club and the community.  For others, you will be stepping into a new role.

If you can follow all that well done!!  We in Rotary do have a bit of a reshuffle come 1 July - and this happens world wide.  It is called CHANGE.

To me Change is my ally - it is my partner in everything I do.  This year District 9940 has continued to embrace the need for change.  Outgoing RI President Ray Klinginsmith talks about establishing a climate for change.  This has put our organisation in a good position to grow and to become more visible in the community.  More will want to join forces to give back to their community.


Thanks to 'my team' this year and to all you have served so well.  
Thanks also to all those who have followed this Blog - it has been a great journey.
I will be printing this Blog - if any want copies please let me know in the next week - there are two volumes (July - Dec 2010 and Jan to June 2011) at a rough cost of $80 each depending on volume ordered.

I have created a new Blog supporting our Public Image work in this region - so let's get started on a new journey!!

Ideas

Do you have ideas you can send me regarding public image activites the District could consider?
In my new role I have the wonderful task of promoting the image of Rotary in our country.  If you have expertise, contacts in this field or ideas (not matter how wacky) - please do not hesitate to send them through for me and the District Public Image Task Force to consider.

Thanks.
