As Rotarians we offer service to change lives, through valuing the fellowship, friendship and fun in our Club. We recognise and acknowledge the diverse backgrounds and needs of our members and community, from the original inhabitants of the land we share, to the successive generations that followed. Together, we have a collective impact. President Paul welcomed members, guests and visiting Rotarians to the meeting.
