Dear Clubs around the District please read the undermentioned e-mail from the Chair of the 2021 District Handover, Chair , Ian Griffith.

Dear Clubs of District 9560,

We find ourselves six weeks into the life of our brand new district. As members having fun in Rotary is a priority for District Governor Martti’s year, we would like to stage a ‘Celebration of the District Party’ in multiple venues all over the district. Each club is invited to stage a social event for their club or perhaps with another club or two on Saturday Sept 11. It could be a BBQ, bowls / mini-golf night or even a trivia night. Clubs are asked to use some imagination to just enjoy the company of their club’s members and families. We then ask each club to propose a toast to the new District at 8:00pm and send 1-2 photos of their event to the District Secretary, as well as on this page. The photos will be collated into a montage and published in the District News Letter

Yours in Rotary

E W ( Ernie ) Landy
