DG Jane, assisted by John, inducted Adrian Schmidt as out President for 2015/16. Adrian then introduced his Board of Directors and Office Bearers who were each presented with the year's theme badge for this Rotary Year. "Be a gift to the world"

He also seeks more local and international commitment by our club.
