DG's
WEEKLY message
Rotary Friends
Another great week of club visits and we were warmly welcomed at Fitzroy, Richmond, Altona
and Yarraville where a new member Mark Atkinson, was welcomed into our newest club.
Then we went on to Bacchus Marsh and Rochester
for some country hospitality and to hear of more exciting programs that clubs are doing to
serve their community. We also attended the RC Melbourne where they presented their
Vocational Award to Professor Alan Trounson, Director of Stem Cell Research at Monash
University. We were enthralled to hear of the exciting research at Monash.
On Friday evening the RC Bendigo Sandhurst hosted the Bendigo Business Excellence
Awards which recognise the best businesses in nine categories. This event is a
gala evening attended this year by nearly 600.
Bendigo Senior Secondary College were awarded the overall best business and this school
are great supporters of many of our Rotary youth programs. This year they had three
students of the 16 who were successful to attend the NYSF in Canberra in
January.
Saturday evening saw us at the RYPEN camp at Lancefield where the RC Keilor were looking
after the food needs of the students attending the camp. Jo Bird and her fellow
Rotoractors really do a wonderful job training the students who were a very happy group
during our time with them at dinner. DGE Bernie Walshe visited them on Sunday to present
their certificates.
Enjoy your week in
Rotary.
