Testimonial By Judy Dennis, PHF and Past President 1999-2000 I made the decision to join Rotary in 1996 after watching my daughter get a lot of enjoyment from being in Rotaract.  It has turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made! Being only the second woman to be invited to join the Club, it was a little daunting at first. However, I soon felt at home and began to look forward to our weekly meetings.  My main objective for joining Rotary was to become more involved in my local community.  I soon found myself helping at various fund raising efforts that always seemed to find us cooking lots and lots of sausages, feeding hungry bike riders, showing local art works or collecting goods for donations in kind to go overseas to our needy neighbours.   Rotary is just like being in an extended family! We get a lot of enjoyment from what we do and along the way we also have lots of fun.  You will find as I have that belonging to Rotary is a way to broaden your horizons, make new friends and business contacts and, more importantly, give you the privilege of serving others who are less fortunate than us! By Rotarian Ken Turner When I joined Rotary, a Rotarian told me that any effort I put in would be repaid many times over, and he was right. Not in monetary terms or in receipt of any favourable treatment but in self-development and learning about the rest of the world. For instance: Visiting industries where we find out how things are made or services are provided and Pride in working with an organization that is ridding the world of polio or performing incredibly skilled surgery on children with horrendous birth defects. It is good to be in cheerful company of Rotarians whether it is at a dinner meeting, delivering meals on wheels or cooking sausages for a hungry crowd. So for as long as I can make a meaningful contribution to society through Rotary, I will continue as a Rotarian.
