Many special guests attended including Rotary International representative Barbara Mifsud, who described the club as “the future of Rotary”.
“Rotary is no longer pale, male and stale,” Ms Mifsud said.
“Singleton Sunrise Club’s membership is more than 60% female, with the average age of 50 and represents where Rotary is heading in the future.”
The Club’s founder and out-going president Gerard McMillan, congratulated the members on the projects the club had completed in the past year, including: sending two hundred Christmas gifts to Australian troops in Afghanistan, visits to aged care facilities on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, National Tree Day tree planting and Operation Uplift Bra collection for women in disadvantaged neighbouring countries.
“The diversity of our projects reflects the diversity in our membership,” Mr McMillan said.
“All of our members are encouraged to suggest ideas for our projects and can take ownership of the projects they are passionate about.”
He said the club motto is fun, friendship and service.
Mr McMillan handed over the reins as club president, to Michael Titow, who is looking forward to another big year.
“We have many more exciting projects on the agenda and we look forward to welcoming more members,” Mr Titow said.
The Rotary Club of Singleton Sunrise meets on Tuesday mornings at 7.15am at Singleton Diggers York Street.
