District 9685 Annual Conference 2022 - Navigating Change
17 Rotarians joined the picnic at Clontarf on Tuesday October 26th. It was a most welcome opportunity to meet socially and make up for the many weeks of lockdown.
Needless to say everyone enjoyed getting together and engaging in deep conversation and discussions on the various qualities of certain vintages.

SPEAKER TRAIL EVENT
Johanna Johns, our Area Governor is hosting this interesting series of talks called Speaker Trail Event
Last night we the Rotary Club of Beecroft hosted the first of seven SPEAKER TRAIL Q & A ZOOM EVENT.
Our expert Rotarians and community leaders performed at their best sharing information about one of the seven Foundation Areas of Focus “Community Economic Development”.
Our one hour zoom meeting consisted of a panel of 3, DG Lindsay May OAM
RC Lane Cove and our PDG Kalma McLellan RC Ryde and PP Mark Anderson RC
Beecroft. Our Facilitator for the evening was Geoffrey Brennan RC Ryde.
Should you wish to know who we are and what we do, this Speaker Trail event is open to all Rotarians and all friends of Rotary or non Rotarians from anywhere in the world!
We were joined by 4 friends of Rotary last night and received one text from Kieryn saying “Great event Johanna, very professional. This would be great for new Rotarians and new Clubs. Remind me to promote this to our Board next week”.
A email from Pamela “A superb evening. I totally enjoy the bigger picture and the positivity that is shared on these occasions is remarkable. Thank you for your energy and your enthusiasm.
If you were one of those who registered but for one reason or another could not attend last night, our session was recorded and are happy to send you a copy upon request. If you did not register and would like a copy of the recording a $12.00 donation and we will send you a copy. Everyone involved in the Speaker Trail Event gave their time for free, as this is a fundraiser for Rotary and ShelterBox.
