So much sizzle!

As the new year in Rotary gets underway we have attended many different changeovers and last night attended my own Clubs changeover at Port Nicholson.  It was a well attended event with much fun, laughter, many new faces as new members joined in the celebrations as President Jane was ushered into office.  The big surprise of the night was for Jenny, being made an Honorary Member of the Club in recognition of the support she has given me and the District in the last 12 months.  I was so proud!
New AG Colleen Singleton presented the new theme banner - Christopher and Gillian Robertson were recognised for their efforts with a weekend away package in Martinborough.  A Paul Harris was given to Paul Fong's wife Tanya from Youth Quest - so well deserving.  As well as a cheque to support their further work with youth.
Our next meeting with be with DG Bob and Margaret as they start their round of visits to our Clubs in 9940.  I know they will have as much satisfaction and enjoyment as they serve the District and I am sure they will experience the 'sizzle' of fun through service that we have experienced.
