Kev's Conveyances

Wednesday  21 October 2009

We were certainly taken on a wonderful journey last week courtesy of Brian Lawrenson and his experiences of travelling through parts of the world that only the true adventurer would tackle. I am full of admiration for Brian and the challenges he, together with his wife Jill, pursues, and then conveys those experiences through books and film.

This Sunday we take journey to Bowral, for a day of fellowship, courtesy of Domenico and Johanna Alvaro, and I would like to remind those attending that all food and drinks will be supplied, but Domenico advises everyone to bring a jacket or coat as the weather can change quickly and it can get quite cold.

We received the sad news last Friday that Walter Dickman had passed away. Walter was a member of the Windsor Rotary Club, but is best remembered as a great motivational speaker at RYLA camps, who always inspired the Rylarians with his ability to relate to them and encourage them to always strive towards greater achievements throughout their life.

I would like to encourage members and their partners to attend our Pride of Workmanship Awards, next week, when we recognise and acknowledge those individuals in our community who have displayed outstanding qualities in terms of approach, attitude, dedication and commitment to their job. Our guest speaker will be Juliana Jamal, a young lady who has made considerable achievements since arriving in Australia from Malaysia in 1996.

Tonight we welcome Hayes Van Der Meer, the Men’s Health Ambassador for the Prostate Cancer Foundation, who works to spread awareness of prostate cancer and provides us with living proof that early diagnosis and treatment leads to a greater survival rate
