As I sit here at my Mother’s hospital bed contemplating on what to say, there are many things I would like to say but I do need to say a heartfelt thankyou to the Doctors, ICU and Staff of the Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital for identifying the seriousness of mum’s condition and taking all the steps to keep her alive.
My apologies for not attending the meeting on Tuesday morning and I thank Chris for standing in for me. It was unfortunate that Jessica from the Leukaemia Foundation was unavailable due to illness. I hope that she will be available next Tuesday morning.

Past RI Vice President Jennifer E. Jones discusses Rotary’s vision statement at the 2018 International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA
In June, the RI Board of Directors and The Rotary Foundation Trustees approved Rotary’s new strategic plan, which will take effect on 1 July. Although the plan will guide our activities at the corporate level, clubs and districts are encouraged to develop their own strategic plans and align them with Rotary’s framework.
District governors-elect learned about the new plan at the International Assembly in January. The Regional Leaders Training Institute, governors-elect training seminar, and 2019 Rotary International Convention also will highlight the plan.
