There is a book titled,
“Leaders In Service Down Under”. The book was released in the
year 2000. It is the story of the
four RI Presidents from Australia and the RI President from New Zealand. Of the five
stories included in the book, the only story written by the person
himself is the story on
Clem Renouf.
The other book
that may be interest is titled, “The Rotary International Health,
Hunger, and Humanity Program”. It was written by past RI President
Clem Renouf, who is considered to be the
‘Father of 3-H’.
