After much anticipation, the Changeover dinner took place on Wednesday 6 July. It was great to see many members, friends and family attend. Many thanks to Anne Murphy who coordinated a fabulous event while attending to the added commitments of the Camberwell Art Show (CAS) Sales Desk duties.
The highlights of the night were acknowledging Patrick Docherty’s leadership with our thanks over the past Rotary year, two worthy members Murray Anderson and Alan Lorenzini receiving a Paul Harris Fellow and inducting new member Paul Casha.
Sadly, many members did not attend due to health reasons, mostly COVID related and pre-planned time away and other commitments. Following the intensity of the demands of the Camberwell Art Show, some members took time to reunite with family members.
Congratulations to the Art Show Executive team for the success of this year’s exhibition. Starting from the Gala opening night to the pick up of paintings, patrons appear to have a smile on their face and grateful for a face-to-face art show after two years of absence. Patron feedback received was positive with comments such as ‘best ever’, ‘world standard’ etc. Thank you to all members who contributed to this wonderful event.
The Club’s Secretary has sent an email to all members confirming members’ Committee and other responsibilities. Our first Board meeting will be on Wednesday 20 July 2022 with Committee meetings starting from August onwards. We look forward to a productive year.
