Rotary Club of Brisbane Meeting Highlights – 11 November 2024
Women and the Rotary Club of Brisbane
Our meeting kicked off with a warm welcome from President Angela Murphy, setting the stage for a vibrant afternoon. Vice President Bruce McNaught led us in a heartfelt reflection for Remembrance Day, followed by Chair Phil Gresham raising a toast to King, Country, and Rotary International.
The highlight of the day? The exceptional Dr Dorothy Watts AM (pictured left with her husband Dr Keith Watts), who captivated us with her groundbreaking research on the role of women in the Rotary Club of Brisbane. A rare and fascinating topic, her talk was both enlightening and inspiring—a true treat for all attendees! It's posted verbatim below.
We were honoured by the presence of special guests who joined us specifically for Dr Watts' presentation.
Visiting Rotarians:
Kim Brown, Michelle Davis, President David Frost (Paddington), President Ebony McNaugton, and Quinn Venz (Paddington Rotaract).
Visitors:
Lily Reichardt, Pauline Beames, and Caroline Gresham.
Though many sent their apologies, including Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, their spirit was felt in the room as we embraced fellowship and shared insights.
Thank you to all who attended for making this meeting a memorable one. Stay tuned for next week’s updates, and don’t forget to mark your calendars for upcoming events!
