President’s Report 2nd October 2018
 

A great weekend experienced by all at the club’s Gears & Beers festival. A big thank you is expressed to all club members, partners, family members, & other community groups who assisted in making the 2018 Gears & Beers Festival a huge success. Especially, I wish to thank the Gears & Beers Committee for all their efforts & energies put into organising and managing such a large community event. The event has certainly put the City of Wagga Wagga on the map attracting people from various cities and towns near and far. The economic, social and health benefits for local and wider communities are enormous.

Again, a big thank you is expressed to all. I am proud to be a member of Rotary club of Wollundry.

A number of club members said they were approached by members of the public thanking them for their efforts.

This is a testament to a highly successful event. Service above self.
