Hi My Rotarian Friends
When you receive this month’s newsletter it will be the day that our District Conference begins which includes an evening Street Parade, with a band and flags along with the opening ceremony with His Excellency Malcolm McCusker and Ms Tonya McCusker. I will have been in Geraldton since Tuesday getting things ready with our 3 wonderful, hard-working Geraldton Clubs. I hope you are looking forward to the weekend as much as I am.
I was most impressed with the posters I received from many Clubs about your projects which were made for the Conference Poster Competition. As April is Magazine Month, can I encourage you all to put together an article on one of you club projects for own Rotary Down Under Magazine. You all have such great ideas to share with other Rotarians around Australia and New Zealand.
Also, as our magazine contains a wealth of information about the activities from many clubs around Australia and New Zealand, what a wonderful way to let potential Members get to know more about Rotary. Let’s share our magazine with others, then follow up after they have had time to read about our many projects and see if they are interested in joining us.
Interviews for District Governor 2014-2015 were held last month and I am pleased to inform you that Angus Buchanan from West Perth Rotary Club has been selected as District Governor Nominee Designate and will become DGN at District Changeover on 30th June. Congratulations Angus.
We welcome these new members to Quairading Rotary

Can I encourage Clubs to consider making their promised donation to The Rotary Foundation as soon as possible and there are only 2 months to go in this Rotary year.
Finally, we currently has 96 Rotarians and partners registered for the Bangkok Convention which is the largest number from any District in Australia. I would really like to make the 100 and I do like round numbers. Are there a few more people out there that would like to join us. It promised to be great fun and very informative.
Yours in Rotary
Cheers....Liz
