Another amazing year at Rotary Armadale passes by.
The Rotary club of Armadale celebrated another wonderful year of doing good in community while having fun. President Anthony reflected on the year that was, with 13 active one off projects within the Armadale community and many more being supported overseas.
Of the many projects Rotary Armadale celebrated, was the ongoing Easter Event, Youth Leadership Project and Quiet Zones projects that have been a focus on community activity the last few years.
Newer projects such as Morning Tea for Teachers was also a hit, and our continued evolution of new ideas to watch our club grow.
We also saw Natalie Crosswell, one of our newest Rotarians take away the Rotarian of the Year award for her continued contributions to community.

We also welcomed new Rotarian Anne to our club who now brings our numbers to a strong 13 of dedicated community members giving back through Rotary.
The evening wrapped up with the changeover to the new board and welcoming President Gail and her board. Gail spoke briefly about the future of Rotary and how our club continues to innovate.

Welcome Anne!
Welcome to our newest Rotarian Anne. Anne joins us from her work in local government, although she is currently studying mental health and community services and is keen to give back to her community.
We are thrilled to have an enthusiastic new Rotarian join our ranks! Welcome Anne!
Pride of Workmanship
Pride of Workmanship has been a long held Rotary project that continues to recognise workers within community. This year we were fortunate to partner with the Armadale Chamber of Commerce to celebrate local workers.
Overall we handed out 16 awards to worthy awardees from a range of businesses within our community.
