Rotary is made up of Volunteers who carry out humanitarian work around the globe. Teams conduct short term exercises, have predetermined and agreed goals and ensure that projects are sustainable.
At which point the incumbent Editor dusts off the quill in readiness for the next garage sale and then remembers that he has yet to put the finishing touches to the History of the Rotary Club of Modbury.
But that’s another story for another day!

At our regular dinner meeting on 14/11/17, we had an opportunity to meet the two students Imogen and Anthea, who will be sponsored by the Rotary Club of Modbury Golden Grove under two different Rotary Youth Programs. They both have introduced themselves and briefly mentioned about their programs that they are participating. We are sure these students will be great representatives on behalf of the Club.
Imogen is the Club’s Long Term International Youth Exchange Student, who will be travelling to Denmark for 12 months next year. Anthea, has been selected and sponsored by the Club to attend the National Youth Science Forum to be held for the first time in Brisbane in January 2018.
