FROM PRESIDENT JOHN

Rotary Cambridge Week 1 – 30 June 2020

What a night. – many thanks to Cambridge Rotary members for turning up enmass to our combined 75^th Anniversary and Changeover Dinner.

There was always a good buzz in the room as our Mayor Jim Mylchreest,, District Governor Kevin Forgeson, incoming President Hamilton Central, Roger Fitzgerald over 75, Cambridge historian for the night John Tarbutt, and in last duties as 21/22 President Ian Grant kept us informed and entertained of our Rotary Club contribution to Cambridge and Rotary International over 75 years.

On such a celebration we have much to be proud of to date and much to look forward to in the future.

The Bruised Brothers did us proud – their contribution to the night certainly appreciated by all the Cambridge Rotarians at the Sir Don Rowlands centre.

Congratulations to Sue Milner and LesleyAnn Thomas on their Paul Harris awards for their contribution to Rotary but in particular their contribution to the Cambridge community.

Special welcome to Nigel & Adrienne Donne, Nigel was inducted on the night.

The evening formalities were concluded by changeover of the Presidents, exchange of bougets for the partners and two new outgoing and incoming presidents songs ably written and delivered by the Bruised Brothers.

Special thanks to Deb and Bill Robinson, Bev Heron, David Partis and Suzanne Wilkinson for the preparation and decoration for Changeover.

Look forward to seeing you Thursday - John

THIS WEEK'S NOTICES

CAMRIDGE ROTARY CLUB 75^th ANNIVERSARY

At the event to mark the changeover of President and officers for the 2022-2023 year, time was given to celebrate the 75^th anniversary of Cambridge Rotary. While a little belated (the real time was in September 2021) it was befitting for the club to acknowledge this special occasion.

John Tarbutt is to be thanked for preparing a very good precis covering the start of Rotary back in 1905 in Chicago, leading into the start of Cambridge Rotary in September 1946. The document that he has prepared will go on file in our ClubRunner document folder and is worthy information to have as the years roll on.

His Worship the Mayor Jim Mylchreest, District Governor Elect Kevin Forgeson and President Elect Hamilton Rotary Roger Fitzgerald all recognised on the night the robust membership of Cambridge Rotary.

For 75 years it has been a strong club due to its effectiveness in working closely with the community, assisting people and organisations to achieve their own goals for the betterment of the town and its citizens. We don’t have to look too far to see where, in some places, several clubs have been formed and today they struggle because numbers have declined, which really doesn’t help our organisation as a whole. Here we are, a solid club in a town that had 2,500 population in 1946 and after 75 years our club has grown and supports the community of over 20,000 people. None of this happens without acknowledging the commitment of our members because that is the backbone of our existence. It is right to be proud of who we are and what we do.

Sincere thanks to Ian Grant, Past President, and we wish all the best to John Bishop as he starts his Presidential year. May it be an enjoyable year for him as much as it will be for the Cambridge Rotarians he leads.
