How will this evolve?
The prototype has been created and will be refined and redesigned. Each District will have their own Baton to connect Rotary with community events, fundraisers, fun runs, inter-club visits, Rotary conferences and present at gala centenary events. Imagine the time when all batons from Australia and New Zealand come together at grand centenary celebrations.
And not just for this century! The Baton can then become part of District Changeovers; literally passing the baton from generation to generation for the next 100 years.
Already hundreds of Rotarians have passed the baton from one to another. A ceremonial passing of the baton between Australia and New Zealand occurred at the Zone Conference in Christchurch. RI President Mark Maloney and Gay plus many others have been part of the action.
Over the next few weeks it will appear at the Walk for Stroke Association Victoria (Oct 11th), Walk for Polio around Albert Park Lake (Oct 19th) and Train ride for Polio (Oct 24th) before resuming a tour through D9820 DGN Mark Humphries.
