\u201cWe must always remember that whatever we do, no matter how small our efforts in that area may seem, we are here to promote and foster world peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Anns were celebrated in Charlie Kane\u2019s toast.<\/p>\n He described the importance of women and honoured them for their fierce support and for being an integral part of the club.<\/p>\n It was then time for the inductions.<\/p>\n John called upon Peter James-Smith to induct Lyn Opie, who will serve as the Germiston Rotary Anns president.<\/p>\n Lyn, who returns to serve a second term as the Germiston Anns\u2019 president, described the past year as a whirlwind of learning curves, joyous festivities and a great deal of ups and downs.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile we did not do everything we had hoped to achieve, we were able to grow our social media presence.<\/p>\n \u201cWe ventured into new spaces, allowing us to start new projects, connect with community members and introduce them to our organisation, to fit right into this year\u2019s theme, Rotary Connects the World.\u201d<\/p>\n Furthermore, she thanked her fellow Anns for supporting her in the past year and entrusting her with the position of president once more.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/07\/27GCNGENERALINDU_85274-520x390.jpg\")
