“Rotary Women making a difference and leading the way”

 

The Rotary Club of Orange recently held their changeover lunch at the Hotel Orange to congratulate outgoing President, Denise Martin for an impressive year and to welcome incoming President, Jill Everett.

 

At a luncheon to celebrate the 2009/10 year Rotary Daybreak members and guests came together to unanimously congratulate past President, Denise Martin for a year of significant achievements.

 

The past year is one that the Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak can certainly reflect upon with pride.

 

 In her closing speech Denise said, “Our Club achieved a number of significant goals throughout the year which culminated in the donation both locally and internationally  of nearly $85,000.  This included the finalisation of our commitment of $50,000to Care West Lodge which was raised over three years.  I am particularly proud of Daybreak’s $50,000 donation to Care West Lodge.

 

On behalf on Daybreak , I would also like to thank  the community of Orange for their ongoing generosity,  and  continual support”

 

The club through many fund raising activities directs donations to a number of worthy Orange community projects which we are pleased to support to help build our local community.

 

The changeover luncheon was enjoyed by all. The occasion was well attended with  the 2009-2010 District Governor Irene Jones, representatives from other local Rotary clubs and Daybreak members and Associates who were keen to mark the year and are looking forward to another successful year with strong leadership that is dedicated to valuable community service.
