This month’s cover photograph shows Rotary Club of Port Moresby President Monica Salter planting the first of the 100 trees in the grounds of the University of New Guinea in Port Moresby to mark the Centennial of Rotary International. President Elect Paul Coleman is third from left and President Nominee Chris Smith is in the centre. To the right of the picture is Rotarian Les Eastcott who is the University vice chancellor.
