The changeover dinner of the Rotary Club of Cooroy was held last week at the RSL Club in Maple Street when Andrew Aves stepped down as president and passed on the presidency to Dr Bob McCrossin.
Dr McCrossin was inducted as the new president of the Rotary Club of Cooroy on Monday 26 June, with many new ideas including guest speakers to take the club forward.
Guest speaker Double Gold Medallist, Vivienne Golding, who competed in the World Masters Games in Auckland, will address the club in August. One the first women cricketers in Australia July Patsy Fayne will be speaking in July.
The club was able to donate more than $300 to local causes and the eradication of polio, thanks to the generosity of those present on the night.
Dr McCrossin said: “Everyone is welcome to attend our new-look meeting of the Rotary Club of Cooroy at the Community Room at the Cooroy library on the first and third Mondays. The cost is $10 and includes tea and coffee. Booking is essential as places are limited. Email secretary@cooroyrotary.org.au or phone Linda on 0403 172 534.
