The Rotary Club of Emerald and District Welcomed John Parker Surveyor General of Australia 1989-1997 as our guest speaker and we were all fascinated to hear how the measure of the Metre came about. Below are brief notes from his presentation:
We are delighted to welcome our newest members to the RC of Emerald and District
Peter Ravenscroft, Annie Fenby and Day Gowland.
Although their inductions were somewhat different and rather remote via Zoom because of COVID-19 we all look forward to welcoming them in person when life returns to a semblance of normality and we can meet each week in person at the Paradise Hotel, Clematis.
The Rotary Club of Emerald and District is delighted to announce that they have awarded the Paul Harris Fellow to local businessman Len O'Donnell.
Len has been a wonderful contributor to the community over many years and a great supporter of the Emerald & District Rotary Club through the Emerald Co-Op (including Mitre 10, Barry Plant and the Bendigo Bank). He has been an evergreen supporter of the Kids Fun Run with Thomas and been a major supporter of the event each year even when facing difficult times.
His wife, Lorraine, was at the presentation, as were Marcus Adams, Gayle Barrot & the team from Barry Plant.
Len was suitably surprised and somewhat overwhelmed. It was perfect and we cannot think of a better recipient this year!!
