We welcomed our newest member Sophie

Enders, who managed to summarise her busy and varied life in just five minutes. We are excited to have Sophie on board and can’t wait to see her in action as part of the team.
Susan kept things lively with two breakout room sessions, giving us a chance to chat in small groups about what we’re looking forward to in Rotary this year. It was a great way to hear fresh ideas and perspectives from fellow members.

Darrell (WASH) and Lawrie (Rice for Cambodia) highlighted the urgent need to support refugees in Cambodia fleeing border tensions.
