this month's cover

Queensland Premier Peter Beattie is a great advocate for Queensland and an enthusiastic supporter of the 2003 Rotary International Convention. He met with R.I. President Bhichai Rattakul, of Thailand, on a visit to Brisbane and told him he was looking forward to welcoming Rotarians to Queensland. And like Bhichai – he says Brisbane is the place to be in 2003! A 12-page section on the Brisbane 2003 R.I. Convention begins on page.27
