Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin PRESIDENT'S PAGE
I have the pleasure of representing our club as president for 2008-2009.My professional background has been in Law as a solicitor in the Canberra region since 1974. I joined this Club when it was being formed in 1987 with the encouragement of my father who was a longstanding Rotarian with the Canberra Club. I have enjoyed every minute of my life with Canberra Burley Griffin.
Our club comprises approximately 32 members from a wide range of professions. Each member shoulders an equal share of responsibility for the numerous projects we conduct. This year, I have been proud to see our club work hard to achieve substantial results, particularly in the fields of community and international service. Some of our programs have included:
- West Timor: village and school improvement
- Twinning agreement with Nara Rotary Club, Japan and Kupang, West Timor, and recently Krakow Poland.
- Canteen Children's cancer support service
- High School business education / Australian Business Week
There are many more programs that I could mention, if space allowed. These are covered in the Committee's sections on the Web.
I extend to you a cordial invitation to visit our club and learn more about the worldwide programs of Rotary and in particular the Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin.
