Club Visits Local SES facilities in Emerald
The Rotary Club of Emerald and District provided much needed funding to the local SES in Emerald through the Hills Recovery Appeal. We enjoyed visiting the facility to hear first hand about the amazing and critical work the crews provide here in the hills (and beyond).
Highlights 2021-2022
Three students who gained acceptance for the McLeod Murphy Scholarship last year were also entitled to a second year payment of $1,000 if they continued with their approved medical studies. In each case Kara, who is studying BNurs/BMid(Hons) (M3007), Yebin who is studying BMedSci/MD (M6011) and Sarah who is studying BBiomedSci (M2003) have provided the required evidence that they have paid this year’s fees and continue with their studies. Accordingly, I have asked them to provide bank details per authorisation by the board to enable the second scholarship payment to be made.
Some members have presented to the club under the title “Where have you really come from?”. It is an extension of the “Behind the Badge” presentations which allow members to appreciate each other’s background and journey to this point in time. The club has enjoyed guest presentations this year which have introduced members to the growing range of businesses in our area enabling the possibilities for future membership.
Beyond the above, the restrictions presented by Covid have reduced the ability for more work in this area.
