The Noosa Rotary has conducted its fifty second changeover with the appointment of President Gerald Victor AOM.

The Club has been active during the Covid-19 lockdown, resorting to Zoom meetings as a way of keeping their members connected in a positive way.

President Gerald said at this very difficult time, the Rotary club of Noosa has moved forward with the start of the new Rotary year, with the hand over to the officers and a new president.

“I have been given the privilege of being the fifty second president of the club,” he said.

“When most organisations have and are finding times hard, we have inducted two new members so far this year with another two waiting to join our local family.

“Rotarians enjoy the fellowship in our great community.

“We welcome all those in our community to join us and have a great time in being part of our club, supporting those who need our help.”

Gerald said that in times of disasters and the need to support the less fortunate people in the community, Rotary was always there to help.

“This is the ethos of Rotary.”

Rotary was founded by Paul Harris 115 years ago and is active with Clubs in most countries throughout the world with over 12 million members.

“Each Rotarian in their own way helps make that connection last and ensures that the Rotary legacy and its future continues.”
