Presidents Report Dec 10th
Yesterday, Pakenham Race Day, I believe went extremely well with all our commitments being filled. Thank you very much to all who helped organizes and volunteered on the day. Special thanks to Barry Hodge and Caz Walsh who stepped in and helped the day run smoothly. A big thank you also to our Inner Wheel Colleagues who helped make the day a success. Thank you also to everyone who, helped hand out a huge number of candles in the evening supporting Pakenham’s annual ‘Carols by Candle Light’ at Toomuc Reserve.
At Tuesday’s meeting Jim Wilson introduced Senior Sergeant Nathan Prowd, who is heading up a ‘Community Awareness Campaign’ spoke about his commitment to stepping into the wider community. He acknowledged the tidal wave of change in our communities and the changes that have to occur in Policing as we go forward. Victoria Police, in association with Rotary have established a successful partnership to deliver the Victorian Police Leaders Mentoring Program. Jim Wilson from the Rotary Club of Berwick is Nathan’s mentor. The program is a structured development opportunity that partners a Police member with a Rotary mentor. The aim of the program is to increase understanding of, strategic leadership and community engagement at individual and ultimately at an organisational level.

Grant missed the elusive Joker, but we are still in the early stages of the game. Geoff Young brought a guest with him Thushari Sumanasekera, I hope she enjoyed the night.
