On Sunday we celebrated 50 wonderful years of the Rotary Club of West Lakes.
It was a special afternoon filled with memories, laughter and connection as past and present members and friends came together to reflect on the many highlights of our Club over the decades.
Old friends reunited, stories were shared, and we were delighted to have two of our founding members (Alan Broadbent & Eric Ciracovitch OAM) present to celebrate this milestone with us.
We heard a few words from:
- District Governor Rajeev Kamineni;
- Deputy Mayor of the City of Charles Sturt, Katriona Kinsella; and
- President of Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club, Damien Puyenbroek.
All reflected on RCWL's work and wished us continued success in serving our community.
Guests enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea and birthday cake, while browsing through displays of Club memorabilia that showcased the history and spirit of Rotary at West Lakes.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this incredible milestone.
Many thanks to past member Alan Raggatt whose generous $200 donation enabled a couple of door prizes, won by past member John Phillips, and AdBri sponsor rep Peter Baker (Brian White's son in law)!
Here’s to the friendships, service and community spirit that have shaped the past 50 years…and many more to come.
