It has been a long tradition of Rotary Melbourne that the outgoing President introduces the incoming Rotary Melbourne President, and reviews their year in the company of Past Presidents and partners. On Sunday 15 June 25, out-going President (Catherine Baxter) outlined the achievements of Rotary Melbourne in 2024-25. Incoming President (Philip Cornish) outlined his plans for the coming year to his "Rotary Melbourne Hall of Fame". Here they are at Kingston Heath Golf Club yesterday having a jolly good time. It was a very chilly day but that didn’t dampen the convivial chatter in the room.

Member Anniversaries: Peter Habersberger (36), Sandra Hills (15), Ruth Carlos Matinez (8).
