Past Rotary International President Ian Riseley honours a Rotary hero
Part of being a Rotarian is aspiring to make the world a better place. One Rotarian who truly delivered on this promise was Sir Clem Renouf, who passed away on 11 June.
Clem hailed from Nambour, Qld, and was president of Rotary International in 1978-79. However, he will perhaps be longest remembered for the pivotal role he played in helping rid the world of polio.
If you would like to honour the life of this amazing man, Ian and fellow RI Past President Bill Boyd urge you to consider supporting the cause Sir Clem was so passionate about – End Polio Now.
Along with Past RI Director Noel Trevaskis and RI Director-elect Jessie Harman, Ian and Bill have established The Sir Clem Renouf Polio Appeal. For details, please visit https://www.dropbox.com/s/pt03tzanf89kawc/TSCRPA_Flyer_EP.docx?dl=0
