Incoming President Kerre Willsher was keen for the evening to be a relaxed, low-key occasion. Current President Leanne Herd completed her final duty as President by inducting incoming President Kerre Willsher. The meeting was well attended, with members of the Rotary Club of Whyalla Norrie also joining the evening.
