PDG Nick Curry sought
leave to present two
awards to President Don
representing PP Mick
Matthews. The first was a
Rotary International
President, John Kennyís
Citation for outstanding
achievements within
Wynnum and manly during
Mickís year as President.
The second was the presentation of the RAVE Medallion (Rotary Award for
Vocational Excellence) which was given to Graeme Wescombe for his
outstanding service through The New Generations Directorship over the past
four years. Well deserved but totally unexpected by the recipient.

Kate Bardsley and Liam Scanlan spoke to the
Club on their experience of RYLA. Kate
suggested that it was the ìcraziestî camp she
had ever been on. She did not really want to go
but after the third day she realised what a
privilege she had been able to experience which
changed her whole approach to the way she
lived her life.
Liam endorsed
Kateís comments.
He said a young
person, he was
concerned how he was going to do without a
telephone or a computer for eight days was
unthinkable. Yet he found that like the other 43
participants he had experienced a different
perspective on life and a renewed sense of
purpose. Both Kate and Liam were full of praise
for the work of Rotary in this direction.
