Well done District 9940!
We have now had the opportunity to meet and the greet old friends and to celebrate our 2010/11 year.
We met at Wanganui Race Course - over 200 turned up to reunite with old friends and to make new acquaintances.
Wanganui Club really went all out to put on a great event and they certainly succeeded.
| Past District 9940 Governors and partners |
My first task was to present District Awards and I will create a separate blog to list those.
Then had the opportunity to present a report on the achievements of the District - again a separate Blog. Finally there was the Changeover where I passed the chain of office over to Bob and Bob was able to spell out his objectives for the coming year.
| Now what' so funny Bob. Jenny and DGE Graeme are also slightly amused. As for Margaret, she's beside herself!! |
Another wonderful moment was the presenting of Paul Harris Fellows to the partners of Past District Governors - again another Blog - but the photo you see here is the PDGs and partners in one of the larger gatherings of them all in one place. It was a great event and there was much laughter and memoirs of days gone by. And of course much advice to me and to Bob. Certainly it will be a highlight of my time as Governor and to have the thrill of seeing Jenny being awarded a Paul Harris Fellow by incoming DG Bob. Secretly - a tearful moment for me. Jenny means so much to me as a partner and life long friend!
