Past District Governors
We remember those Past Governors that have been called to Higher Service.
Today’s District 9660 is the result of a long series of mergers and renumberings of earlier NSW/Queensland districts, going back to 1927. The table below preserves the two parallel lineages exactly as tracked in the official district directory, side by side by Rotary year, up to their final merger into District 9660.
