President’s Report – June 2010
Changeover Lunch on Sunday 27th June, 2010 starts at 12 noon for 12.30 at Frankston Lifesaving Club. I am looking forward to seeing you all there on the day and presenting my full report for the year 2009-2010 at that meeting.
It has been a very busy, but fulfilling year with the successful joint Charter of the Peninsula Rotaract Club and our ‘Alternate Schoolies’ Program progressing well with 13 school leavers going to Cambodia and 5 going to Tanzania.
We have donated money and time to DIK projects; Bushfire affected families; the Schools Garden Program; Frankston Youth Resource Centre; Ardoch Youth Foundation; Kananook Primary School Scholarships; Emerging Athletes Program; Young Carers and many other projects.
Last July, we welcomed our Inbound student, Nicola Von Hobe. Nici has been the most wonderful ambassador for the Youth Exchange Program and her country. We will be sadly saying our final Goodbyes to Nici on the 4th July and I know that all her host parents and their families will miss her very much. In January, we waved goodbye to our Outbound student, Maddy Stroot for her year in Germany. Maddy is having a most wonderful time and I am sure will regale us with all the stories of her adventures in Europe when she comes home in January 2011.
I would like to thank the Board and members of our club for your wonderful support over the past year and wish PE Brad and his team another successful year in Rotary in 2010 – 2011.
Best Regards
President (for the last time) Judy
