LAST WEDNESDAY
 
We welcomed District Governor Ken Miller, Assistant Governor Catherine Elfick and District Governor Nominee Colin Byron.
 
 Colin is a member of the Rotary Club of Greater Dandenong and Endeavour Hills.
He will be the first District Governor for the new District 9815 in 2024/2025.  This was his first visit to a current District 9810 club and he discovered there was a strong Hewlett Packard connection!
 Ken gave us a good bill of health overall as part of his visit.  It is productive to get feedback and we should always strive to continuously improve what we do and how we do it.
 
He inducted our newest member, Silvana.  Janette E will be Silvana’s mentor.  Welcome to Nunawading Rotary Silvana – we are delighted to have you.    Silvana is now the proud owner of 2 “We love you Ken” badges!
