INDUCTION OF INCOMING PRESIDENT MIKE LESAR
There was a good turnout for the Induction of our new President, Mike Lesar on Tuesday 17 June. Rotarian Lawrence Holden welcomed all present including our new District Governor, Hennie de Bruin and his Ann Beth. AG Rob Gilligan could not attend as he was inundated with rain in Port Shepstone.
President Elect Mike Lesar brought the moving meeting to a fitting close by looking to the year ahead and reading his own poem to us.
I can believe Paul when he wrote
That the spirit prays for us
With sighs too deep for words
Sighs like that I know about
My sighs always surprise me
For a sigh, like a dream,
Is what happens when the breath
Or thought is not all mine.
Those breaths and thoughts
Bring the world into my soul
And then escape with more of me
Than I knew was there.
So to all of us I have to say
Dare to dream
Dream and scheme
Plot and plan
And then do
And as you achieve
You and I will make dreams real.
