NEWS
Our President
Robyn Buccheri, our president for 2007/08, was a Rotary Exchange Student in 1967/68 spending 12 months in New York State, U.S.A. Her host club was the Rotary Club of Westfield, located on the shores of Lake Eirie. Robyn was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Swan Hill, District 9780, and remains very grateful to Rotary and its Youth Exchange Program for providing her with "an experience of a lifetime". A 40th anniversary reunion is scheduled for July 2008 and Robyn is hoping to attend.
