Three continents in three days - the power of Zoom! Great to spend time with the Rotary E-Club of Greater Sydney and its many visitors from all over the world earlier today. A very committed group of Rotarians “doing” Rotary in the style that suits them best. Thanks to all for making me so welcome, and thank you for all you do for Rotary.
And a personal note
Hi Marilyn, Thank you. It was a real pleasure to share in your meeting earlier and to meet such an interesting group of Rotarians from so many places. I remember you from Toronto. Ian Thompson was a very good friend - another Scot of course! Looking forward to meeting up with you sometime. Very best wishes, Gordon

Past District Governor Tony Castley and his wife Sandra head an impressive list of Rotary major award winners for 2020-21.
Rotary was involved in the formation of the United Nations.
Here is an Utube recording of a webinar connecting Rotary and the United Nations.
It is 3 hours long but judicious moving through the presentation is advised.
Some facts:
Rotary has a seat in the General Assembly of the United Nations in recognition of the efforts of its membership to foster goodwill and peace across national boundaries. Rotary is the world's largest Non-Government Foundation providing educational and humanitarian aid.
We should be so proud of our place - we should let everyone know of our unique position in the UN.
