Sue Hayward (Mike)
District Governor 2018-19
This year it will be my 30th Sydney City2Surf. I think this is worth celebrating and would like you to join me on 11th August. I have set up a team "Rotary District 9675". I would also like to make it a great year for Australian Rotary Health so I have set up a fundraising page. You can donate to my page or set up your own fundraising page when you have registered. Please ask all your friends and family to donate to Australian Rotary Health.
DGE Dianne and DGE Kalma from District 9685 have announced the exciting news that our two Districts will be combining for Conference 2020.

Districts, Clubs and Rotarians are putting in a terrific effort to halt the decline in membership. While this has slowed the rate of loss somewhat, contemporary methods of rendering service have changed from the traditional service club and a new approach is needed. One option (and one that is mandated by RI if District membership falls below 1100) is to grasp the initiative and form a larger District.
As PRID Noel Trevaskis said "Larger districts are just the platform for change as we move forward together to face the challenge of change".
Our region is about to approach a very significant change when the number of Districts will be reduced as we simultaneously seek to grow Rotary's presence and replace ageing membership following a decline of 24% in the region over the last 10 years.
Taking these challenges seriously, last September the 2018/19 DGs unanimously agreed to petition the RI Board for approval to develop a plan to pilot a regional structure for Australia, New Zealand, and the 14 Pacific countries in our Zone.
And the winner is Melbourne!
It is with great excitement that we announce Melbourne as the host city for the 2023 Rotary International Convention, the largest conference secured this century for Victoria.
Melbourne is a Big Events City! Set to deliver over $88 million to the Victorian economy, the Convention is the most valuable conference ever won for the state, with the four-day event anticipated to attract more than 20,000 Rotarians from around the world. The global spotlight will be on Melbourne and how we present ourselves to the world.
