Induction of Transferee Member: Kit Schreiber

On 15th January we were proud to induct a new member – Kit Schreiber – into our club.

Kit is a long-time Rotarian, having been with RC Beacon Bay for 31 years, where he has especially been involved with the Youth Exchange programme. He has now transferred to Cape Town, and has been a frequent guest over the past few months. Once he got to know us, we are happy to report he is confident he will enjoy his stay here.

As Kit is already a Rotarian, President Jackie presented him with a ‘Service above Self’ pin.

Kit Schreiber welcomed to the club by President Jackie.
