July 2020 DG Newsletter

Dear fellow Rotarians and friends of Rotary,
Welcome to District 9510.
It is a great honour to be entrusted as your District Governor to serve the District over the
next 12 months. In Holger Knaack’s year where ROTARY OPENS OPPORTUNITIES it is my
intention with Lyn, to visit our District’s 85 clubs in one form or another over the next 12 months. Whilst
doing so, I will be encouraging clubs to explore the opportunities for engagement that could exist through
partnering with Local Government and other organisations and to provide both existing and new members
opportunities to engage with Rotary.
There are several events planned throughout the year. The inaugural District Conference will be held from
16th-18th April in Bendigo. A Virtual Bike-ride/walk to Bendigo is also being planned by the ARH Commit-
tee and a Polio Ute Relay is planning to be launched around World Polio Day in October. In addition, we
have the 100th Anniversary of Rotary in Australia this year as you can see from our lead story. I hope many
Rotarians will take the opportunity to engage in these events.
Rotary Matters will be our official monthly publication and would like to I thank Editor Euan Miller (Nor-
wood) and Graham Fussen (D9510 Online) for the production, which will be distributed 1st week of each
month. This is an opportunity for you to tell your Rotary story. In addition, I feel there is a need for clubs to
advertise their events to the wider District. That opportunity will exist with a mid-month publication called
Rotary Classifieds. Contributions to this can be sent to District Secretary David Fenton. See details below.
I welcome all Presidents to their role. The District 9510 Leadership team look forward to being of service to
you in the year ROTARY OPENS OPPORTUNITIES.

Yours in Rotary
David Jones
