🎉 Club Meeting Highlights – Monday 18 November

Posted on Nov 17, 2025

Tonight’s meeting was amazing, one of the best in living memory.

We had Club Members being celebrated and recognised for their Service Above Self delivering impact in the community.

We had one of our newest members Past District Governor Ian McKay Chairing the meeting.

We had a Member Spotlight with another new member Carol Gesser which had the fellows clapping and cheering her as Carol explained the skills and experience she is bringing to our Club. Click HERE for more photos from last night.

We enjoyed connection through fellowship and wrapped up with looking forward to the end of year events like our Christmas Party and AGM where we are in a very solid position to vote in our new President Elect, Secretary, Vice President, Treasurer and all other important positions are secured prior to the AGM.

The Club has new members wanting to join and we’re finishing the half way point of the 2025-26 year off in such an incredibly strong way. The future of Queensland’s First Rotary Club looks to be very bright and prosperous indeed.

If you’d like to visit our club and see what it’s like to join us in our quest to make a difference in the world, visit our website and click on Calendar of events to choose a Monday evening at The Normanby Hotel and we look forward to welcoming you as our guest. 

Service above self since 1923.

A day full of fun, laughter, and friendship and the Annual Picnic for Children with Special Needs sponsored by South Brisbane Rotary Club.

Our club sent along Monika (in the red sunnies) & Matt Christopher, Angela da Silva Murphy as volunteers and of course DG Mark Williams made an appearance. We loved supporting South Brisbane Club's wonderful event in a practical way.

Shout out to our member Geoff Baker who made a stellar effort providing live music and entertainment for kids and volunteers alike!
