Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa
Thanks for a wonderful year and best wishes for 2019-20
An edited version Of DG Marion's speech at District 9940 Changeover on Sunday 7th July 2019.
As District Governors, when we first meet our RI president at International Assembly (DG training), we’re charged with carrying his message and theme for the year to Rotarians throughout our Districts, and to keep our Clubs informed and inspired.
When Barry Rassin announced his theme ‘Be the Inspiration’ I immediately thought ‘now that really is a great theme’ – it’s one we can apply to ourselves as individuals in all facets of our lives and one our clubs can relate to; they can apply it in their interactions with each other and with communities local and global.
Rotary's activities and celebrations to mark 100 years of Rotary in Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific Islands were officially launched at Government House in Wellington on 20 June 2019.
An audience of more than two hundred were introduced to Rotary’s plans which will lead up to the celebration of 100 years of Rotary achievement in Auckland in 2021. Most importantly, it is the impact we have in our communities that we should celebrate during this time.
