Mary Nettle becomes our new President for 2015/16
Click for Action eRotary members celebrated on the 11th July, 2015 at the Cafe Bliss, as Mary became President for the Rotary Year 2015/16. Yes a day of Fun, Fellowship and Food to mark this next stage in our journey of Rotary online, offline and wherever we go.
A very special handover and everyone wishes Mary a very successful year, joined by her President Nominee Jacqui Horn by Skype, the day showed how flexible eRotary can be and how informal eRotary is in the 21st Century for busy people who can’t be physically present. What was great was that this was done in a public cafe, showing Rotary does not hide away but blends into community life.
As President Mary starts her year she hopes members, potential new members and friends will join in with our exciting programme of activities planned for 2015/16, plus she would be very keen to hear your passions, ideas and activities you are undertaking in your communities.
