zing things. Our strength is our unity and our passion for making the worl
d a better place for all. It is also our ability to adapt to a world that
is unpredictable and create opportunity from adversity. This year we celeb
rate 100 years of Rotary Australia delivering projects that have made and
continue to make a very real difference\, locally and globally. We are als

ategic planners\, leaders of business and academia\, and our own Rotary le
aders\, all of whom have inspirational tales to tell in regard to how we c
an each make a difference in the lives of others. We invite you as Rotar
