The Meeting of December 6th
Presentations
V.C.E. support awards presentation
- Zac Kingsbury, (Year 11 and 12) was presented with his award. His very competent acceptance speech demonstrated that he would make good use of the scholarship. He also indicated how grateful and delighted he was to have the award as it would allow him to reach some of his ambitions. He was accompanied by his Mother and a friend.
Reports:
Senior Citizens Dinner.
- Seventy one Senior Citizens joined us for Christmas Dinner which everyone appeared to enjoy. Members of the Club were not required to wait on the tables this year so we sat with our guests and learned a little about them. I found my neighbour had a most interesting and surprising life.
-Entertainment was provided by Wilma Andrews who was accompanied by Lean Badenhop. Fred Andrews joined Wilma for a romantic duet!
-Anne Rose, the widow of Roy Rose was a special guest. Awards in his name are still given to selected students at the Bellarine Secondary College.
January Market- Market manager James has asked the stall holders and Rotarians to don some fancy dress or national costume for a celebration of New Years Day and a bit of fun. Is there a prize… watch this space.
Rotary Interest : I don't know if this is the right means or vehicle to express my thanks to you all for your support, constant encouragement and kindness during my long months of hospitalization and rehabilitation. The recording of each meeting was a wonderful way to keep me in the real world and to provide some normality as well as many laughs. I feel very priviledged to belong to our club and humble that you showed so much care and ongoing concern for me.
Stuff and Nonsense: I will see what I can do for next time.
