The Inner Wheel Club of Pakenham held its 31st Annual Changeover at the Pakenham Hotel on 6 July.
President Margaret Macdonald welcomed club members and partners, Pakenham Rotarians and Inner Wheel Club members from neighbouring clubs and also district members, before observing a minute’s silence for long-time Casey councillor and Berwick Rotarian Mick Moreland OAM, who was a great friend to many members.
During the evening Margaret inducted a new member, Debra Blair, and members and guests all gave Debra a warm welcome.
Members and guests enjoyed a choice of dinner from the menu and friendly chatter throughout the evening.
It was then time to induct the new President for 2017-2018, Erica Peck.
Margaret presented Erica with the new Collar of Office and wished her well for the coming year.
Erica thanked Margaret for leading the club in the past year and all the special times that members enjoyed, and looked forward to her valued support throughout the year.
