The Rotary Club of Noosa held their annual Changeover dinner last Monday night, 27 June, where the new office bearers were announced.
The new president, Peter McDonald, took office from Len Tyler.
The event was held at the Tewantin Noosa RSL Club and was well attended.
Some of those in attendance were past Rotary District Governors Jacki Hunt and Eric Wood. Also present was Sophea Nhan, treasurer of the Rotary Club of Sanke, Cambodia. Tex Pipke, president of the Eumundi Rotary Club and Geoff Bone, president of the Noosa Heads Rotary Club were also present.
At the meeting, donations were handed to local community groups including the Coastguard, PTSD Dogs, Noosa Womens Shed were presented with a defibrillator, the Tewantin State School Chaplaincy programme, Legacy and Noosa FM Radio to assist in their programmes.
During the past year, the Club has been able to donate to the Rotary Foundation Appeal for Ukraine.
The majority of funds are derived from their involvement in Circus Quirkus, a project aimed at children who have disabilities or who are underprivileged (and their carers).
This programme allows between 1500 to 1800 children and their careers to attend a very talented and entertaining live performance once per year. It is something many would not have had the opportunity to attend such a performance.
All funds are raised in the local community and we wish to thank all who have contributed. Your generosity is appreciated.
