Dear members and friends of the Rotary Club of Sydney Darling Harbour,

I don’t know if it’s the arrival of Christmas decorations in stores, the faint smell of the backburning or life beginning to slow down, but it’s becoming apparent that we are fast approaching the end of the year. Before we know it we’ll be in 2023 which is set to have its own triumphs and challenges.

To make sure you start the year off on the right note, this is a friendly reminder to:

  1. Register for the Rotary International Conference in Melbourne this coming May! We’ve thousands of Rotarians coming to our fair country from around the world, it’s essential to get in early to secure your accommodation. If you’ve not done so already, I’d get right on that.
  2. Register for our Tree Planting in March! We’ll be planting some trees again in the Southern Highlands, we’d love to see you there!
  3. Register for our Nativity BBQ! Technically, that’s still in this year, but it’s a great way to mark the start of Christmas!
