Guests for the evening included Rotary members from Coffs Daybreak, Coffs City, Coffs Harbour and Dorrigo clubs, as well as District Governor Bruce George from Inverell.

Denis, who was made a Paul Harris Fellow in recognition of his Rotary work, will lead the club through to its 50th anniversary on 29 March 2025.

Members refer to Denis as a kind and generous man who is ready to assist in whatever capacity required.

Also presented at the Changeover Dinner was a donation of $5250 to the Warrina women’s refuge for its men’s behaviour change program run by Safer Futures.

Tom Arnold, a representative of the Warrina Safer Futures program, accepted the donation on behalf of the organisation.

The donation was made possible by funding from the Rotary Foundation, a charity that was originally established by Rotary International President Arch Klumph in 1917.

Since its inception the Foundation has made donations of over USD $4.5 billion.
