Germiston Rotary Club\u2019s annual presidential induction dinner saw guests dressed to the nines.<\/p>\n

The 88th annual event was held at the Germiston Golf Club on Thursday.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

This year saw Benaud Barker taking over as Germiston Rotary Club\u2019s president and Wendy Barker taking the reins of the Germiston Rotary Anns.<\/p>\n

Benaud took to the stand and said, \u201cRotary is a unique organisation, probably the only organisation with over a million members that changes its entire management structure every year.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt is a mammoth operation to change the management of an organisation but I think it is the one thing that sets Rotary apart as an organisation and it keeps it fresh.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt brings fresh ideas, new thinking and energy among other things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benaud said the club had a lot of things to do this year, like the cycle race in November and after they have recovered from that they are going to be dragging the Christmas sleigh around Lambton.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of other things in the pipeline like the family health days.<\/p>\n

\u201cI certainly look forward to the year, serving the club, working with the members and being able to sit at the end of the year and say we made a difference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Wendy also shared a few words.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that in every one of the Anns is the heart of Mother Theresa,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA heart that is filled with love and compassion for those less fortunate than themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time, effort and dedication that they devote to each of our projects is a true reflection of how one can do small things with great love and make a huge difference in the lives of other people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that this year we are going to do great things from the small things that we do with love.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also believe we will have a very successful year, I know I have the backing of each and every one of you and I am proud to stand here and say that I will serve you for the year that I am the president of the Rotary Anns Club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benaud took over from Le Ramdari, while Wendy took over from Hilary Garland.<\/p>\n
