Farewell Ron

1314384 – Ron Watts was very proud of that number, his Rotary membership number.  Numbers for new members now are in the 9 millions.

Ron joined Rotary in 1984, in the two year old club of Munno Para.  He moved to the Elizabeth Club in 1987 and when the new Club of Playford was proposed in 1995 requiring experienced members, he became a charter member of that club, moving back to Elizabeth 5 years later.  Busy work schedules gave him a short break from Rotary and he re-joined Elizabeth Club in 2009.

Ron had many fond memories of those early days of Rotary, which were early days for the City of Elizabeth too.
