Rotary Club of Cranbourne had its change-over on Tuesday 28 May at Settlers Run Country Club.
It was a celebration of the past president Gerard Sadler’s successful year who then handed over the reins to Kathy Dunscombe.
Mr Sadler’s year was marked with many successes, including the annual golf day that raised $ 30,000 to support both local and overseas charities: Cranbourne Information Support Centre which supports families in crisis, Ace Foundation which supports school-age children with reading glasses, breakfast, and educational support, as well as Cranbourne West Primary with their vegetable gardens.
Cranbourne Rotary also supports a Cambodian school called Reach in Siem Reap.
It completed the year with The Helping Hands organisation to make mechanical hands for amputees in war-affected, third-world countries.
The incoming president Ms Dunscombe was keen to follow on with these initiatives but also aimed to help those affected by domestic violence and many other local community support services.
