Introducing the new President of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton - Denise Traill.
'I want to talk to you, my whakapapa with the Rotary Club of Plimmerton. In September 2002, I attended GSE selection and was selected to join the outgoing team to Denmark. RCoP sponsored my selection application and my time away. At that time I was a Sergeant at the Royal New Zealand Police College. The GSE experience made fundamental changes to my worldview. Judy Bain was the District Governor, Noel Evans coordinated the outgoing team's duties.
'Upon returning to New Zealand, I completed my obligatory duty of meetings to outline my GSE experience. Danish hosts, Rotarians became lifelong friends with one couple Annette and Hans-Erik Emborg remaining in contact to this day and visiting NZ eleven years ago to attend the wedding of our daughter Waimarie and son-in-law, Daniel.
Hans-Erik wrote to RCoP, recommending and supporting my application to become a Rotarian. In November 2003 I was inducted by then-President Brian Greaves. I chaired the Youth committee before leaving for Auckland in April 2006. While in Auckland I served as President for Somerville Rotary Club in the 2015/16 year, earning the club’s first RI President Award for club attainments.
