THE Rotary Club of Mount Gambier Lakes met last month to celebrate the induction of Dean Coclonis as the new club president for the 2021/22 year.
Outgoing president Darren Archibald used the occasion to highlight the club’s achievements over the past 12 months and reflect on the 100 year anniversary of Rotary in Australia.
Three Paul Harris Fellow awards were also presented on the night to Ennio Zanfagna, Jerry Leech and Darren Archibald.
The awards are given to members in honour of their fellowship and extraordinary service to the community.
Whilst COVID-19 has made it difficult for the club to run its full roster of events, members continue to meet and look for opportunities to support the community through fundraising.
During the last 12 months the club’s 34 members have contributed approximately 800 volunteer hours and significant financial support to make Mount Gambier a better place.
In order to continue this level of support, the club is putting out a call for new members.
