From the President
I trust you all enjoyed your Fireside Chats on Monday – we certainly did at Coral Street. The conversations were many and varied, the wine red and white, and the tone very jovial. Thank you to our hosts – Gaynor and Rudi, John and Maggie and Amanda – for opening up your homes and preparing what were no doubt delicious meals.
Welcome Linda Neale
I am absolutely delighted to announce that Linda Neale is now a member of the Rotary Club of Torquay. As you wonder what I am on about and recall we inducted Linda earlier this year, there was some confusion in her official registration via ClubRunner and therefore Rotary International, such that Linda was still registered as a member of Queenstown Rotary Club.
Following some formal (and not so formal) communications, this is now resolved and Linda is a fully fledged member of Torquay Rotary c=Club. So as I said, welcome Linda.
Explore the royal and scenic beauty of South India like never before.
We would like to invite you and members of your Rotary Club to participate in our event, to mark the 100th year of The Rotary Foundation, “Ride for Rotary-TRF Centennial Expedition”.
This event blends 14 days of International Fellowship, trekking, incredible sightseeing, cultural evenings with Indian music and dance, with well thought off cuisines.
All these start off, with participants getting flagged off from the “Heritage city” of Mysore. Participants travel on motorcycles for next 14 days, with an average travel of 160kms per day. They touch the most beautiful and historically important places to complete the expedition.
The expedition is open for all Rotarians and Rotractors. Proceeds from this event will go to “The Rotary Foundation”.
Awaiting your reply, Rtn Pashupathi Sharma
