Changeover dinner for Umina Rotary club
The 46th Annual Changeover Dinner of the Rotary Club of Umina Beach has seen the induction of Mr Wayne Dowdle as president for the coming year.
The dinner was held at the Waterfront Restaurant in the presence of 40 members and guests.
"The main feature of the evening was the presentation by outgoing president Mr Bruce Croft of the club's annual report followed by his passing of the mantle of president to Wayne Dowdle," said club publicity officer Mr Pat Lewis.
"Bruce has just completed an outstanding two years of club leadership instead of the more usual one year while Wayne returns to the president's role after he last served in it in 1996-97.
"For his untiring service to Rotary in previous years and his enthusiastic two years of presidency, Bruce was presented with a Paul Harris Fellowship Award by the assistant district governor.
"He was also presented with a photographic collage of events and people representing the activities of the club during his presidency which was prepared by Olwyn Lewis."
Secretary Mr Mike Curley was named as Club Person of the Year.
Mr Lewis said Mr Curley "never tires of promoting and serving the club and Rotary in his many roles".
"Our club now looks forward to the new Rotary year under President Wayne Dowdle with its major goals being increased club membership, greater community service and engagement and a focus on mental health issues for young men."
