How West Beach Rotary Came To Be
Norm Lewis, as a long-standing member of Henley Beach Rotary Club, chaired a committee to inaugurate Kidman Park Rotary Club (now West Beach Rotary Club) in 1984. As our “founding father” Norm’s “get the fellowship right and the club will prosper” philosophy has been an integral part of our focus.
Norm is a centenarian and has continued to maintain a keen interest in the progress of West Beach Rotary. We are grateful for his vision!
