Tony Windsor Recognises Rotary's Contribution

Tony Windsor with Jane Bradford at Dristrict Governors' Changeover, Armidale NSW, Saturday 23 June, 2005.

Message from Tony Windsor MP, Federal Member for New England, wishing Jane Bradford District Governor 2005-2006 and Rotary continued success.

For over a century, Rotary International has played a vital role in supporting our communities.

Rotary’s motto of “Service above Self” perfectly summarises the tireless dedication and commitment of Rotarians world wide to serving other people and working towards the betterment of the communities in which they reside.

Service clubs such as Rotary are certainly the backbone of our society, recognising important needs within the community and undertaking voluntary action to address those needs.

Much of the work undertaken by Rotarians occurs without fanfare, but without their efforts our communities would not be as we see them today.

On a personal note, in 1983 I was selected as a member of a Rotary Group Study Exchange Team to the Philippines, an experience I will never forget and one that gave me the confidence to stand for Parliament.

I would like to take this opportunity to recognise the outstanding contribution of all Rotarians, thank them for their ongoing efforts and to wish Rotary continued success over the next 100 years and beyond.

Best wishes

Tony Windsor MP
Member for New England
