Monday, July 27th, Rotary Club 1918 welcomed District Governor Noel Jackson for his annual visit. 

Anne Chetty, Assistant District Governor, kicked off the meeting by introducing the life and legacy of the newly appointed District Governor Dr. Noel Jackson (Captain Rotary).

Dr. Jackson began by praising the club, saying he "is in awe of the things that Rotary 1918 has accomplished". He continued by saying that, given our projects and contributions to Rotary, its no wonder that our membership has grown the way that has.

As he conducts his virtual visits, his favourite thing is to see each club's character and the cast of characters that are working together to accomplish great things for Rotary. He compared us to a symphony where each instrument works independently but towards a common goal to create a beautiful piece.

Around the globe, beautiful things have been happening. Although we're doing things differently, Rotary is still moving and doing the work.

DG Noel Jackson explained that it was quite the coincidence that this year's theme is "Rotary Opens Opportunities" and the chosen theme for District 6400 is "Be a HERO"! HERO stands for Humans engaging in Rotary Opportunities. He hopes to see Rotarians take advantage of as many opportunities as they can this year!
