We have the best staff in the world! A bold statement but I believe it’s true – there are no teachers more passionate, cooks more diligent, cleaners more thorough, gardeners more devoted, guards more focused, drivers more attentive and an admin team more industrious than those I’m privileged to work alongside.
And, a truly heart-warming fact is that each salary we pay to one staff member, on average, supports five people – that’s 1,500 more people in the community seeing a difference in their lives because of you! Children can go to school; medical bills can be paid; a better diet can be enjoyed and electricity can be turned on at home. These are just some of the stories my staff have told me.
The Centenary is an opportunity to give Rotary a step up in terms of membership, leverage interest and action in the community, build awareness of what an amazing organisation we are and the value we have contributed to our country and of course internationally.
We will be providing and encouraging opportunities for everyone to get involved and in due course be sharing a plan of activities for the next 18 months or so that will allow participation and engagement.
Looking forward to an exciting and invigorating celebration of the Centenary of Rotary.

I am so overwhelmed by the generosity, love and unity of our St Jude’s community. In just over 48 hours you have helped SO MUCH to cover the cost of our COVID-19 Family Care Packages. We might even be able to allocate extra packs to students who are the most in need in a few weeks’ time.
Your support has made all of this possible and we can’t quite put into words just how thankful we are… So, here’s a little video of how you’ve made myself and all the St Jude’s staff feel. I hope it makes you smile!
