Highlights 2019 - 2020
Because of the impact of COVID-19 the 2019-2020 year was somewhat curtailed.
The Committee did try to seek a suitable candidate for the McLeod Murphy Award but we are rolling the scholarship over until the 2020-2021 Rotary year.
The memorial fund provides scholarships in the form of cash grants to tertiary students from Emerald and the surrounding region who’re undertaking studies in medical-related fields. Each recipient of the award is presented with $2000 – $1000 for one year of study, and a further $1000 a year later if they continue down that path.
Unfortunately, the activity of our Vocational Service Committee reflects the hybernation of business for part of the 2019-2020 Rotary year, but like all business members in the community Vocational Service is looking forward to a more active year.
