Text Box: World EXCLUSIVE Members Urged To Put Smiles Back on Faces PRESIDENT MAUREEN’S ASSEMBLY ADDRESS IN FULL

Text Box: We enter a historic year for our club. Not only have you been brave enough to install the first female president in our 28 year history but in 2005 we will be celebrating Rotary¹s 100th birthday. We could all feel 100 years old

Maureen is, of course, the first member of the fair sex to hold the office of President of a Rotary Club in Perth. Why it has taken almost 100 years from the birth of Rotary for the first lady president to be installed in Perth is a discussion for another time. Members certainly believe that in Maureen, we have the ideal Club President to guide us through our Rotary Centennial Year.

Text Box: accord with my own -
and hopefully those of all of you.
For 2004/05 our theme is ‘Celebrate Rotary’ and I
