Dear Members,
I recently had the opportunity to spend three weeks in my home country of Portugal (I was born there, but I grew up in New Zealand), introducing my nine-year-old daughter to her heritage and spending time with family. I’m grateful for the full support and encouragement of the club, which made it possible for me to take this time away from my presidential duties. Balancing work, life, and service is essential, and it's a privilege to be part of a club that values and supports this approach.
While I was away, we made the collective decision to postpone the Alumni and Friends Lunch to early February, allowing us to make it a great event in the new year.
Since returning, we’ve successfully launched the 100 Years Historical Booklet, an event that went very well. We were honoured to welcome some important guests who have ties to our club’s history.
Thank you all for your continued dedication and for keeping everything running smoothly in my absence. It’s a reminder that our club’s strength lies in the efforts of everyone working together.
Warm regards,
Angela Murphy
President 2024-25
Rotary Club of Brisbane
