Message
Thank

special. ...

Last Week's
Meeting
We had a great turn up at our
special meeting No 500 with the theme being family and friends.
It was lovely to be able to induct
Ivory Roberts as a new member on this night and it was even more
special for Ivory as she had so many of her family there including
her Grandparents. The third induction for the new year so at
this rate we will have a new record if we keep those numbers up. ...

 DG Colin Muir's Weekly Message
in
Networker
(Issue 12, 14 September 2009)
September
is
New Generations Month
"Training Our Leaders of the Future"
We often talk in our Rotary clubs of succession
planning and who, when and how to chose the next group of
Rotarians to lead us into the future. Obviously we look for
leadership skills and the ability to successfully manage and lead
our clubs in each new Rotary year. However, I believe having
leadership skills does not alone assure good Rotary leadership. An
effective Rotary leader must also have Rotary knowledge,
perspective about where Rotary has been, where it is now going and
a vision of what Rotary can be. ...
