On Tuesday afternoon 14th August the Interact Club of Stanthorpe inducted 12 new members at a Special ceremony witnessed by parents and Rotarians. The newly elected Executive Committee of six students was announced. The work of two Interactors, Josh Clarke and Tessa Pascoe, was recognised by the awarding of a Service Badge. Both have spent many hours performing a variety of activities that helped others locally and internationally. Congratulations to all the Interact Members. Rotary, the Staff at Stanthorpe High, your families and community wish you and your club success in service and friendship over the next Interact year.

As I am sure you are all aware, I am currently taking a Leave of Absence from Rotary. There are three reasons for this. This first is that over the past 18 months I have given so much time and energy to Rotary that my health (both mental and physical) has suffered, the second is that due to this time and energy commitment, my own business, friendships, and personal interests have been neglected. There is a clear cause and effect between these two outcomes! The third reason for which I do not want to attend Rotary meetings is the unpleasant undercurrent in our Club where our elected board members are actively trying to make positive changes to our meetings and are being constantly undermined by members who seems to want to stagnate in a Rotary scenario from the 1970s.
