Rotary will host the Awards Presentation Dinner for the Rotary NSW Emergency Services Community Awards at Darling Harbour on Saturday evening, July 23.
In keeping with Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self”, the awards acknowledge and celebrate the selfless Community Service of NSW Emergency Services Personnel while supporting Australian Rotary Health, PHD Research into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Emergency Services Personnel.
Two Kiama Ambulance Officers have been selected as finalists in these prestigious awards; well done Kel Milne and David Kay.
Past President, Ian Johnston heads to Vanuatu this week with senior Emergency Service Officers to undertake a scoping mission for a Rotary/Emergency Services Vocational Training Team that will go to Vanuatu later this year to conduct an Disaster Preparedness training program.
KIAMA LIONS
The annual changeover dinner for a service club such as Lions is an important event. At our recent changeover, outgoing president Hilton Bloomfield highlighted the Club's many achievements over the past 12 months.
Apart from generating over $55,000 for many worthwhile local and international projects in the past year it is important to realise that local annual events like the Kiama Show and the Kiama Art Show rely on Kiama Lions for significant non-financial support.
Incoming president David McLeod and his board were inducted by District Governor Sally Wilton at the changeover at Kiama Leagues Club. Congratulations to Lion John Larkins for his receipt of a prestigious Melvin Jones award and also to other members who were recognised with other awards for their service to the Club.
