Clem Renouf
President, Rotary International 1978-79
When I was invited to contribute to this history I contemplated writing exclusively about my experiences as a Rotarian, with particular reference to the presidency, but I was persuaded to go beyond that, to write a biographical sketch of my life, realising that one's Rotary experiences don't occur in isolation, but influence and are influenced by the factors and events that shape our personal lives.

For there is, in the view of many Rotarians, a certain aura surrounding the presidency (not the president) which makes the office seem remote and beyond the reach of all but a very privileged or very gifted few. If this biographical sketch of the life of an ordinary Rotarian dispels that myth and encourages others to realise the full potential of their Rotary membership it will have served its purpose.

Past President Clem shared the birthday as our founder Paul Harris - 19 April, although Paul Harris was 53 when Clem was born.
