The Rotary Birthday Cocktail Party  -  Bubbles in the Gardens -  will be held on 23 February 2012  from 6.00 - 8.00 pm,  at the  Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra.

The Party will be a celebration of the fun and friendship Rotary brings to us; a chance for us to get together in the larger Rotary family without the constraints of a formal meeting and to enjoy each other’s company as we celebrate 107 years of Rotary service. The entry cost is $55.00 which includes cocktail food and drinks.  This is a celebration and there will be no fundraising or additional costs at the event.

When John Lennon wrote this song, he really got it right! What better wish could there be than to live in a world without prejudice, fear or war? This is the kind of world we in Rotary work towards−a world of peace.

At this very special time of year, I want to extend my sincere thanks to you all for the effort you have put in to your Rotary work throughout the year. We should never lose sight of our mission − to provide service to others; promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
