Why I Am a Rotarian

"I have taken a team of amazing young women to Colorado as part of a GSE team and seen the results of that life changing experience. I have developed life -long friendships from that GSE experience and have been back to Colorado twice as a result. Coloradans have also visited my home in Melbourne, Australia. ...

I have a passion to make a difference and Rotary is so diverse and can throw up so many varied challenges that the organisation continues to excite me. The Foundation that has as its aim to do good in the world fits so comfortably with my beliefs.

In truth I am a Rotarian because of the quality of friendship that has been shown to me. Yes I am a Rotarian because it makes my life more complete and it provides wonderful challenges that are often missing in our daily existence."

Past President Stuart Williams
Rotary Club of Forest Hill,
District 9810
