It’s rather strange to note that the outgoing DG seems to have been completely ignored in the write-up as well as in photographs. The picture of the outgoing DG passing on the collar to the incumbent DG should have been the most prominent one but it’s conspicously missing altogether. Similarly, the IPDG’s photograph addressing the gathering has also not been posted. All this may not be intentional or by design but it certainly is not in good taste and in the real spirit of Rotary!
Shouldn’t the write-ups on important events be handled more professionally?

ROLL OF HONOUR
It is a very good idea to have a Roll of honour for remembering the past leaders but I would appreciate if their correct District numbers e.g 307 or 327 etc are written after their names as they were not Governors of District 3270.

Congrats DG. Usman on being installed as the last Governor of District 3270. Unfortunately after attending the 100th R.I. Convention in Birmingham United Kingdom, I am still not back home hence I missed the Installation ceremony which looks really good from the photographs.
You have created History with this unique idea of presenting a collar to all club Presidents in the District which was a real need as quite a few clubs in the District do not have it or have lost it and no Governor in the past ever thought about it. Wish you all the best for a very successful Rotary Year where I hope you will take District 3270 to new heights of success.
