Yesterday's lunch was certainly entertaining. Before our Guest Speaker, Past District Governor (D9500) and Australian Rotary Health (ARH) District Representative for Rotary District 9510, Barbara Wheatcroft, presented our member David Motteram OAM with a certificate of acknowledgement (Ruby Companion) for his very significant contribution to ARH over many years! Thank you David, for your generosity and tireless support! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Then it was onto our Guest Speaker and what a performance! Henry Olonga certainly informed and entertained us as he spoke about his life in Zimbabwe, his exile and his journey to Australia, cricket and commentating as well as his (obvious) passion for music (Nessun Dorma rang through the Oval!) - and dad jokes! 🤣

Always one to see the glass half full, Henry has had a very interesting life and no doubt there's more in store for him. Henry was thanked for being our Guest Speaker by Richard Dahl.

On Tuesday evening, past presidents gathered for the clubs annual Past Presidents dinner in the beautiful SACA Committee Room at Adelaide Oval. 💙💛

Our immediate past president, Gildi Carty, shared a brief reflection on the year that was, celebrating the people, projects and contributions that continue to shape our club.

We missed several past presidents who were unable to join us due to illness, but they were certainly with us in our thoughts and hearts. 🫶

As Gildi reflected afterwards:

“For me, one of the best things about last night was simply being around people who care deeply about Rotary Adelaide and its future, and who have each contributed in their own way.”

And as past President David reflected, “I think last night’s dinner was special because we not only reflected on the ongoing contribution of our forefathers who set up our Charitable Trust Fund, but we also enjoyed the company of 4 female Presidents for the first time (Gildi, Jo, Heidi and Sandra)”.

An evening of friendship, reflection and shared commitment to the future of Rotary Adelaide. 🕊️

PEACE HAS A BIGGER STORY.

The Rotary Adelaide Walk for Peace: Peace in the City, is one local event, but it sits within a much bigger story of people choosing to give their time, energy and skills to their communities.

Across the world, Rotary brings people together through service, leadership and community action.

Its work ranges from large-scale international initiatives to the small, practical things people do in their own communities.
That connection between global reach and local action is worth recognising.

Because meaningful change doesn’t only happen somewhere far away.

It happens when people decide to show up where they are.

On 23 October, Adelaide will have its own opportunity to do just that.

Join us for the Rotary Adelaide Walk for Peace. Peace in the City, and become part of a shared community experience.

📅 Friday 23 October 2026
🕚 11am start
☕2-3pm Peace Park event
📍 Adelaide
Free and open to everyone.
