Club Co-Presidents 2024/25 Brian Tyedin (L) and Anthony Callinan (R)

Dear Members and Friends,

As we celebrate the first anniversary of our amalgamation and reflect on our rich history, we want to share our vision for the future of Rotary Manningham City.

Our focus will be on identifying the needs of our community and tailoring our projects to address them, ensuring each project has a measurable impact. We must be open to new ideas and initiatives that align with the challenges of climate change, social change, artificial intelligence and workplace transformations.

To achieve this, we will modernise our communication strategies, streamline club processes, create more opportunities for skill development and networking, and ensure every member feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute their unique talents.

International projects remain an integral part of our mission and we encourage members to explore meaningful international projects that align with our values and resources.

The sustainability of our club rests of the shoulders of each member. We all need to encourage and welcome new ideas, embrace diversity and attract new members who share our passion for service. Together we can build a Rotary Club that honours our rich histories while embracing the future with open arms.

We are excited about the future of our club and we look forward to working with you all to make a lasting impact on our community.

Anthony and Brian
Co-Presidents,

President Stephanie Urchick
 
Rotary International President Stephanie Urchick announced that the 2024-25 presidential theme is The Magic of Rotary and called on members to recognize and amplify the organization’s power to save lives. She reminds us that we cannot ‘wave a magic wand’, we create the magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member.
 
She used the example when she was helping install water filters in the Dominican Republic. Two boys were watching as dirty water entered the filter, then ran out clean at the other end. The young boys thought it was magic. Those boys knew that easy access to clean water would change their lives.
 
She also wants us to:
  • Prioritise peace;
  • Stay committed to eradicating Polio;
  • Make the club experience irresistible to members;
  • Embrace the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion within clubs.
