President’s Report Christine Owen

What a busy and fruitful year! I can honestly say that Kincumber Rotary Club made a difference! We

have displayed all the characteristics of a vibrant club with members actively engaged and willingly

participating in a variety of activities to demonstrate ‘service above self’, consistent with our club’s

vision.

During the year the club was surveyed and a number of Club Assemblies were held to monitor the

pulse of the club and find out if we were meeting the needs of our members. Significantly the

positives of the club were identified as structured, well-run meetings, which provided variety and a

range of interesting guest speakers, events and opportunities for members to serve and shine. The

year-long program was kept running like a well-oiled machine by Rosemary who provided many

excellent speakers helping to generate much food for thought.

2017-18 Board

I was fortunate to be surrounded by a confident and expert team of Board Members and our

monthly Board Meetings proved a successful discussion and decision-making forum. My thanks to

each and every Board member for their support and commitment. With the introduction of a Board

Paper process we streamlined our approach to focus on the ‘what’, leaving the ‘how’ to Directors

and where relevant, their committees. We managed to write a number of club policies which were

adopted by the membership: Associate membership; Youth Protection and the Bullying Policy.

Thanks to Secretary Margaret Neal and Treasurer, Ralph Brown for keeping us on track and in the

black! Our AGM was held in December with PDG Graeme Davies in the Chair.

http://kincumberrotary.org/our-members/christine-owen/

Early in my Rotary year it was my pleasure to present IPP John Heuston with a well-deserved Paul

Harris Fellowship following 25 years club service. We are also fortunate to have a number of Paul

Harris Society members and a number of Rotarians are committed Foundation Centurions.

We were fortunate to be able to round up a number of our Charter Members for a Reunion Dinner

in April this year and we enjoyed the company of past members and heard about the impetus to

commence the club. We are proudly carrying on, albeit that some of the traditions from those

original meetings have now been waived. Imagine if this was still a men-only club!

Our Club supported a number of combined events: sponsoring the Central Coast Art Awards,

supporting Rotaract, energetically participating in the Australia-wide Graffiti Removal Program which

was well received by locals; and promoting and enabling the Bowelcare Program in our feeder area.

We continued the tradition of the Terrigal, Erina, Kincumber (TEK) evenings, joining with the other

clubs to each host and organise a dinner meeting. We heard about a Kokoda Trek; listened to

Patricia Garcia, Foundation Peace Scholar about her work in conflict zones; and were updated about

Gosford and Wyong Hospital expansions by Dr Andrew Montague. We also joined other Central

Coast Rotarians at Breakers Country Club to hear RI Director Noel Trevaskis on membership and RI

IPP John Germ speak of his experiences and his ideas for youth. And during that same week in March

some members attended the Peace Conference in Sydney and backed up for the District Conference

at Leura where our club was proudly showcased: our Associate Membership initiatives for Youth

Exchange host parents and our work through a matching Foundation Grant with Coast Shelter -

enabling provision of swags for the homeless and waterproof mattresses for women’s refuges.

The generosity of our members has led to almost $6,000 being donated to The Rotary Foundation

and another $1000 to Polio Plus and Australian Rotary Health. The international FUN’d night

championed by Jan Brown added $500 to that total. Lots of fun, coloured international costumes

and dancing made for a fun social event.

Other social events included a Ferry Trip around the Brisbane Water one sunny October Sunday, a

Xmas Party as our last 2017 meeting at Seabreeze Park, Kincumber and our annual Prawn Night to

start 2018 at Macmasters Beach SLSC. We commemorated Anzac Day and members laid wreaths at

memorials during 3 local ceremonies.

Fun at the Christmas Picnic

This year we reported our 2540 Volunteer Hours to Rotary International and our total funds donated

($36,029.05) to local and international charities and causes. These figures do not capture our intent

in serving the community but go some way to showing the extent of our commitment to the Rotary

ideals of service.

Our 4 Villages Walk was mentioned in NSW Parliament’s Hansard and was a wonderful family event

combining walking, models, entertainment, boat building, drumming, dancing, barbecues, singing

and Devonshire teas. The event is growing in popularity, bringing an eclectic mix of community

groups together and is designed to showcase all the elements of our Ship Builders’ Memorial

Project. Thanks to a wonderful group of members, capably led by Peter Rea, who all toiled diligently

to get the show on the road!

The HMAS Patricia Cam Commemoration events in January 2018 of the sinking off Darwin by the

Japanese were well supported by local and state politicians, Central Coast Mayor, Jane Smith,

visitors from Darwin and descendants of the ship’s crew. A plaque, specially cast in Darwin will be

mounted at Palermo Park, Daley’s Point on the site where the HMAS Pat Cam was built 75 years ago.

This event too was mentioned in Hansard – a feather in the cap for our Club.

Tina Latham inspired our International Service and assisted us to donate funds for 4 wheel chairs for disadvantaged children in Cambodia, combining with West Gosford Club; and support the Maternity Africa Project to prevent maternal and baby deaths and injuries such as obstetric fistula. In addition our club supported the Days for Girls Mad Hatter’s high tea in July 2017 and some of our male members waited tables. We also supported Dee Why Club to get a container of medical and non-medical supplies to Tonga following the 2017 cyclone. Our efforts for Vocational Service saw chairman, Ernie Altman organise two events at TreeTops

Avoca Beach Resort: The Community Service Award presented to the Kincumber Men’s Shed and

Pride of Workmanship Awards presented to 4 very deserving local folk: Patricia Smith, Yantra de

Vilder, Brad Cardis and Joshua Ford. Our thanks to Bendigo Bank for sponsoring these awards and to

Ernie for his efforts.

Our attention to Youth in the Kincumber area have proved fruitful. Youth Exchange featured

prominently and with the expertise of Tim and Alison Bowland our inbound students Filippa

(Sweden) and Agnes (Norway) enjoyed sound counselling and delightful stays with host families.

Outbound student, Rhianna Scott returned from Finland around the same time as Jordana Booth left

for 12 months in Japan. The club benefits from having a strong connection with these young people

and we look forward during July to welcoming Signe from Denmark for a year-long exchange.

Jordanna Booth at Christmas Picnic just prior to leaving for Japan with Jan Brown Club Youth Exchange Counsellor.

Rotary Youth Enrichment Program (RYPEN) has encouraged us to sponsor 3 Kincumber High School

(KHS) students to attend Summer and Winter camps. For the Model United Nations Assembly

(MUNA) Central Coast event and the Science and Engineering Challenge we sponsored teams from

KHS and in the near future we will sponsor 2 more students to the ConocoPhillips Science Experience

at a Sydney University. We also contributed to sponsoring a 16 year old female student to the

National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) in Brisbane and she has now been selected to attend the

International event in London – leaving within the next few weeks. What wonderful opportunities!

And, volunteers from our club supervised at the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) sessions held

at Wyong Race Course. In addition, the club continued to support 10 local schools in the

advancement of citizenship and our schools’ night was a great success. Thanks to members who

attended the schools presentation events in December to present awards to students. John Heuston

has done a mighty job in the youth portfolio.

Sandy Hunt-Sharman has a thing for movies and has become our movie fundraising champion! This

year we successfully promoted 2 movies at Avoca Picture Theatre raising significant funds for The

Brain Cancer Foundation, Brisbane Water Historical Society and Central Coast International

Women’s Day EXPO.

Avoca Beach Picture Theatre

Our effort at the Gosford Grower’s Markets at the Gosford Racecourse has seen a steady group of

member volunteers set up, collect donations and pack down, fortnightly. The Avoca Beachside

Markets have also featured strongly and in total we have raised close to $17,000 and donated the

total to a range of local charities and causes including Coast Shelter, Maternity Africa, Days for Girls,

the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre, the Clown Doctors at

Gosford Hospital, Shine for Kids, our farmers who are doing it tough in the drought via the

Burrumbuttock Hayrunners, and the Tathra Bushfire Appeal.

Our club has continued to support the International Women’s Day EXPO now titled the Festival of

Women and members attended the Women in Service Dinner in August, proud of their service in the

local area.

And talking of women, it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge to work of our webmaster, Pam

Brown keeping our website up-to-date and uploading photos and documents. Thanks Pam. Lyn

Doppler is another person I would like to thank – for her efforts in April this year with the

Restorative Practices event at Gosford Golf Club and assisting with re-drafting the Bullying Policy.

And none of this could happen without the fundraising we undertake in the form of our Christmas

Raffle. We raised almost $16,000. This year we adopted a few new sites including the Crown Plaza

Florida Bar which proved fruitful along with Aldi at Greenpoint, Coles Kincumber and the Avoca

Beachside Markets. Prizes were distributed on Christmas Eve immediately after the draw at Coles

Kincumber to some very happy winners. My thanks to those who generated the prize pool that

contributed to a great result, and for all the volunteer hours dedicated to this venture.

The one goal I had this year that was not realised was the tree planting goal – plant a tree for every

Rotarian. We may resurrect this at some time in the future.

And last, but not least, I would like to mention Membership. Throughout 2017-18 we have had 5

members on extended leave limiting our active membership pool. It was my privilege to induct 5

new members: Suzy Seale, Lyn Doppler, Tony Arico, Bronwen and Neil Simpson. The Club also had

some resignations: Eric Perrett, Ron Nicolle, Dave Richardson, Tim Bowland, and Bronwen Simpson

and Sue Lane retired. We acknowledged with Associate Membership the parents in the host families

of our exchange students and this proved a worthwhile initiative which we will continue. Thanks to

Graeme for his diligence and persistence and bringing his wealth of knowledge to the membership

portfolio.

Finally, I would like to wish Lillias best wishes in her role as our new President.

Community Service Report Sandy Hunt-Sharman

This year our club has been extremely busy achieving our Community Service Plan 2017-18.

I’m very pleased to say the Community Services Team has completed all the objectives plus

more, as the opportunities arose.

The aim this year was to continue to demonstrate our `service approach’, supporting the

events we initiated in the past, building capacity and making the most of each, as

opportunities to `grow the Rotary brand’ in our local community and beyond came our way.

Consistent with our previous community activities during 2017-18 the Club undertook to:

Support local schools (see Youth Report) with citizenship sponsorship that will maintain and enhance Rotary relationships and recognition in the local area

Continue our showcase fundraising event, the Kincumber Rotary Christmas raffle at a number of venues taking the opportunity to promote the Rotary

Participate in the annual graffiti clean-up as a club project – with Fraser McBride at the helm!

Conduct the 4 Villages Walk along the Rotary Shipbuilders’ Memorial Walk through

the villages of Kincumber, Yattalunga, Saratoga and Davistown. This activity was very

well supported by the local community and has become a wonderful PR exercise as

well as a targeted source of new members (see 4VW Project Report). Local

community groups showcased their organisations and young people entertained

with dancers, bands and buskers.

Partner with other organisations to conduct movie fundraising events at the Avoca

Picture Theatre. These have proved valuable as fundraisers and a great way to

connect people on the coast and raise Rotary’s profile.

We really have made a difference in our community during 2017-18.

Sandy Hunt-Sharman

Public Image Tim Bowland and Peter Rea

In line with Rotary International, the Rotary Club of Kincumber’s Public Relations (PR)

portfolio changed to become Public Image (PI).

During the early stages of 2017-2018 the Public Image portfolio was split, with the role

being shared by Tim Bowland and myself. Our community events and projects showcased

Rotary in general and Kincumber Rotary Club in particular with new membership flyers and

an outline of the areas of service where we spend our time and efforts.

For the latter part of 2017 and most of 2018, Public Image concentrated on raising the

profile of the club through its 4 Villages Walk project.

New Printer

The Rotary Club of Kincumber acquired a high-end, A3 laser colour printer, which has been linked to an iMac with Adobe, InDesign and Photoshop software. This allowed the cost effective production of printed material for the 4 Villages Walk. The printer will continue to be available to meet the club printing requirements.

Business and Rotary Networks

Two to three club members attended the regular Kincumber Business Networking Meetings organised by the Kincumber Community Centre. This has raised awareness of the Club within the local business community. The Club has also continued its close association with the Rotary Clubs of Erina and Terrigal known as TEK, by arranging combined meetings.

4 Villages Walk

A very effective seven member 4 Villages Walk committee was formed and good

communication within the club was rewarded by the excellent support from all available

members on the day. A number of non-members also provided considerable assistance,

almost beyond the call of duty.

Partnerships were either established or continued with Brisbane Water Historical Society

(BWHS), Wyong District Historical Society and Museum (W&DHS), Davistown Progress

Association, Sydney Model Shipbuilders Club, History and Heritage, Hunter to Hawkesbury

Research and the Sea Scouts, In addition Mitre 10 Kincumber and Bendigo Bank Kincumber

provided many marquees, Kincumber Glass provided glass for some display models and

Green Point and Kincumber Community Centres offered support in kind.

Attendance for the walk increased significantly on 2017 numbers. A number of Gosford City

Councillors participated as did Adam Crouch, Member for Terrigal who provided a

statement to NSW Parliament regarding the event and the Club involvement which

appeared in Hansard.

4VW Participants enjoy the Foreshore entertainment

Kincumber Bendigo Community Bank was the major sponsor with additional support from

local business, Area History Tours and Central Coast Ferries who provided the prizes.

Despite significant efforts, local schools were not encouraged to become involved, this

remains a high priority for the club. Additional efforts will be employed for 2019.

Rotary International recommends each club undertake a major community event and the 4

Villages Walk has been the event for the Rotary Club of Kincumber. Due to the success this

year, it will continue to be the Club focus into the future.

Everyone enjoyed the 4VW festivities

HMAS Patricia Cam Commemoration

A major event for the Club was the HMAS Patricia Cam Commemoration at Palermo Park on

20 January 2018. The park is part of the site of the old Palermo Shipyard, where in 1940

Gordon Beattie constructed the Patricia Cam. 22 Jan 2018 marked the 75th anniversary of

the sinking of HMAS Patricia Cam by Japanese forces in Northern Australian waters.

In conjunction with Past Master’s Darwin-based Mike Owen, the Club arranged a Brisbane

Water commemoration of the event. The club organised a site meeting with Central Coast

Council which led to the archaeology of a slipway being cleared of undergrowth and the rest

of the park area generally cleaned up. On 20 Jan 2018, the Club set up the site including

seating, model display and Mitre 10 Kincumber assisted with marquees. Council will now

continue to maintain the archeology.

The Club also supported a History Ferry Tour of Brisbane Water of about 60 passengers, this

passed the Palermo site where a special Audio Visual presentation was displayed on board.

Later that afternoon about 90 people gathered at the site. A model of the HMAS Patricia

Cam was unveiled along with a plaque cast in Darwin for mounting at Palermo Park. The

unveiling ceremony was conducted by Central Coast Mayor Jane Smith. Parliamentary

Secretary for the Central Coast Scot MacDonald, District Governor, Peter Ward, Central

Coast Councillors, Darkinjung Land Council, locals present at the 1940s launching, Beattie

and Cam family members, relatives of those on board Patricia Cam in 1943, Past Masters,

and visitors from Darwin and East Arnhem Land Council were present. A number of local

community groups attended including Brisbane Water Historical Society, Wyong and District

Historical Society and Central Coast Family History Society, and special guest, Gwen Dundon

AOM, maritime historian and author. On the actual anniversary, club members went to

Canberra to lay a wreath at a twilight ‘Last Post Commemoration’ for HMAS Patricia Cam.

Parliamentary Secretary of the Central Coast Scot MacDonald who attended the Central

Coast commemoration provided a Notice of Motion to NSW Parliament in regard to the

event which highlighted the Club’s involvement and appeared in Hansard.

The occasion drew considerable pre and post event media coverage including print, radio

and television all acknowledged the Rotary Club of Kincumber, professional video footage

was shot for a possible future documentary. From the event the club received $1100 in

donations towards the Shipbuilder’s Memorial Project.

Program for HMAS Patricia Cam Commemoration 21 January 2018

Shipbuilders’ Memorial and Historical Projects

Following the HMAS Patricia Cam Commemoration, Palermo Park was added to the club’s ‘Shipbuilders’ Memorial’. Discussions are currently underway with Central Coast Council and local artists regarding construction of a memorial for HMAS Patricia Cam at the Park, which will include the mounting of the plaque cast in Darwin. An additional plinth may be erected on Davistown Waterfront Reserve to acknowledge the keel cutting for the vessel there.

To enhance the commitment to the preservation and presentation of history and heritage, the Club accepted management of the resources of Central Coast Historical Models (CCHM). These resources included models and dioramas many with a specifically local theme while others have a direct connection with the Central Coast.

Tourism Link

The Club’s Shipbuilder’s Memorial Project stands to benefit the local tourist economy as

interest in history and heritage grows. Throughout the past year Club representatives

attended meetings about new initiatives conducted by the Destination NSW, Central Coast

Council and community based associations aimed at significantly boosting tourism to the

Central Coast, enabling better support for the local Visitor Economy. The Shipbuilders’

Memorial, the 4 Villages Walk and the former Central Coast Historical Models (CCHM)

resources will contribute to this initiative.

During 2017 Wyong and District Historical Society (W&DHS) supported the display of scale

models at Alison Museum. The display has enjoyed a significant response from visitors of all

ages. The original artwork is being redesigned to acknowledge the Rotary Club of

Kincumber. Aligning with the efforts by Government, Council, Industry and the Community,

the Central Coast can expect a significant increase in tourist numbers, and these vibrant

history-based attractions will enhance and help protect local heritage. As the models will be

Rotary badged, the public image of Rotary International, Rotary District 9685 and the

initiatives of the Rotary Club of Kincumber will be promoted.

Membership Report Graeme Davies

An ambitious Membership Plan was adopted for 2017-18 designed to achieve the Club’s 2020 Vision

target of 45 active members. This goal is essential if the Club is to undertake more significant

projects within the community.

To achieve the overall goals and initiatives of the Plan, the Board approved a budget of $3,000 to

implement the plan. These funds however were not allocated in part due to budget stress.

The goal for the year was a net growth of 5 members. Five members were inducted but this was

offset by the resignation of 7 members. It is expected however the Club will commence 2018-19

with 25 active members.

A number of members have invited a potential member to attend a meeting or referred potential

members to the Membership Director. Membership is everyone’s responsibility. This is clearly

adopted by our members.

A feature of the current membership demographic is at any given time approximately a third of

members, for various reasons, are on extended leave. This can place an extra burden on active

members. This feature is anticipated to continue in future years so needs to be factored into future

Club Planning.

The planned Membership Committee structure did not eventuate.

A Club Membership Seminar was undertaken which heightened the awareness of the importance of

membership retention as well as growth. This included member satisfaction and an understanding of

the flexibility Clubs have regarding membership types and meeting formats. In response to these

new options the Club introduced Associate Membership. A particular initiative was the offer of

Associate Membership to current host parents of Rotary Youth Exchange students. This was well

received at this year’s District Conference.

Training is an important aspect of club membership. All new members were appointed a mentor and

assigned to a Club Committee. Mentor Guidelines were developed. A “fireside” chat was conducted

mid-year to support newer members gain a better understanding of Rotary.

The Club undertakes a number of community projects which contributes to its high community

profile. This has been most important in attracting new members. Introductions have arisen as a

result of our involvement in the Health Promotion Expo, Gosford Farmers’ Market, Avoca Beachside

Market, the Central Coast Festival of Women, the Historic Model display at the Erina Fair 30th

Anniversary, the Shipbuilders’ Memorial Project, the 4 Villages Walk and especially the 75th

Anniversary of the sinking of the Patricia Cam to name but a few.

Although our total membership remains modest the overall directions and strategies are sound. One

initiative to be explored in 2018-19 is broadening our support base of the general community and

our Associate Members. One initiative with that in mind was the “Charter Night” or Reunion of past

members held in April.

This will increase our capacity for active involvement in a range of projects.

The Rotary Foundation Report Jan Brown

The Rotary Foundation (TRF) endowment fund is at the heart of projects which save and transform lives around the world. This year Kincumber Rotary Club and its members contributed over $6000 to the Annual Fund including $1000 to PolioPlus. Thanks are extended to those members who made individual donations as Centurions and a special acknowledgement to members who have made significant contributions as Paul Harris Society Members.

The wine raffle, championed by Fraser McBride, has continued to be an important means of

generating funds for TRF. Thanks go to Fraser for his continuing expertise in running the

weekly fine sessions and for organising a variety of quality wines for prizes.

A successful application for a District Foundation Grant resulted in Coast Shelter being the

recipient of $2090. District provided $1045 which was matched with another $1045 from

Kincumber Rotary Club. These funds were used to purchase 12 Swags for the homeless and

2 waterproof mattresses for women’s refuges. Acknowledgement must go to Tina Latham

who was actively involved in bringing this project to fruition.

The important role of the TRF in promoting peace was recognised at a combined meeting

with Terrigal, Erina and Kincumber (TEK) with Peace Fellow, Patricia Garcia as the keynote

speaker. Patricia, a highly respected humanitarian and human rights advocate, completed

her study at the Peace Centre at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. It was wonderful to

hear about her past contributions and future plans for world peace and to share a meal,

trivia quiz and fundraising raffle with Erina and Terrigal Rotary Clubs.

Colourful international gathering at the FUN’d Event

Late in the Rotary year, we enjoyed a FUN’d event. The aims of the FUN’d for Foundation

event were to have a fun, to share with members and guests the important role of TRF in

sponsoring local and international projects, to celebrate world diversity through

incorporating an international theme and to fundraise. The FUN’d for Foundation event

culminated in over $500 being raised for the TRF. A big thank you to all who helped to make

this event a success.

Youth Service Report John Heuston

The last year has been eventful and fulfilling for our Youth Program.

Youth Exchange has seen Rhianna Scott return from Finland and tell us of her experiences

form her year-long exchange. We welcomed Agnes Birkemo from Norway and although her

stay was shorter than planned we enjoyed her company and trust she benefitted and

formed happy memories of her time with us. Jordanna Booth is now in Japan and from

reports is proving to be a delightful and well regarded Australian ambassador. As we head

into the new Rotary year we will be welcoming Signe Lauritsen from Denmark. As always,

finding host families can be challenging and a special thanks to President Christine for her

contribution to Youth Exchange and to all those providing hospitality. An initiative to honour

the generosity of our host parents with Associate Membership for the year of exchange has

proved a worthwhile and successful initiative.

Rhianna Scott - Finland on Exchange

The Scott Family hosted Agnes Birkemo (centre) from Norway

Once again we have been involved with RYPEN. Katie

Woodham and Rowan Payne attended the Summer

Camp and Taylor Scott the Winter Camp. Each weekend

camp provided students with wonderful leadership

opportunities. These young people visited the Club prior

to and on return from the camps to tell firstly of their

expectations and then their experiences

Our plan to have a participant for attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) week long camp did not eventuate as a health issue caused the young lady planning to attend having to withdraw.

The Science and Engineering Challenge was also well supported by the Club with members helping at St Edwards College. Schools from all over the Central Coast were presented with a variety of stimulating challenges.

The Club sponsored 2 teams from Kincumber High School to participate in the Central Coast MUNA held at Ourimbah University Campus.

The Club part sponsored Natasha Malkovich's attendance at the National Youth Science

Forum (NYSF). She visited the Club and confidently relayed her experience in Brisbane. She

has been invited to attend The International YSF in London.

A highlight of the year was our Schools Night held at Chopstix Restaurant at Avoca, cheques

were presented and staff and pupils addressed the Club.

The RYDA Driver Awareness Programme was supported by a number of members attending

the days held a Wyong Racecourse.

Lessons learned by students at RYDA

Two students from Kincumber High School have expressed interest in attending the next

ConocoPhillips Science Experience.

Lyn Doppler made a special effort approaching local schools to promote and encourage

involvement for pupils in our Four Villages Walk. Her efforts will be rewarded as the Four

Villages Walk continues to grow.

Many thanks to all those contributing to our Youth Program and please continue your involvement

in the coming Rotary year.

International Service Report Tina Latham

This year we:

Continued to support to the Rotary Club of Gosford West and donate funds for four (4) wheel chairs for impoverished people in disadvantaged communities in Cambodia.

Raised funds in collaboration with the Foundation Chair to assist in the

eradication of polio worldwide.

Continued support of Days for Girls Avoca Beach team, a (RAWCs) project by providing guidance and assistance in a fundraising event an African Tea Party in July 2017 in collaboration with Days for Girls and Woven. Some of our male members made excellent waiters!

Supported Maternity Africa to prevent maternal and baby deaths and

injuries such as obstetric fistula.

Tina Latham

Our Club members got into the spirit of the African High Tea held at Community Christian School at Bensville, to raise funds

for Days for Girls Projects.

Vocational Service Report Ernie Altman

Although no active committee was formed there was consistent assistance and participation

by the membership. This support enabled:

Vocational activities that remained within the budget and were to a large extent

subsidised by Bendigo Bank as a result of representations by President Christine.

Sourcing of the award plaques from Russell Hampton Co in the USA at a cost that

was highly competitive as laser engraving was included.

Club members to nominate local community members for Pride of Workmanship

awards, resulting in the selection of four recipients from a range of professional,

artistic and volunteer backgrounds: Joshua Ford - Services to Rural Fire Service;

Yantra de Vilder - Services to Music and 5 Lands Walk; Brad Cardis - Services to Event

Management; Patricia Smith - Services to Photography and Community.

POW Award Winners with President Christine and MC Ernie Altman

The selection of Kincumber Men’s Shed as the worthy recipients of our Community

Service Award in acknowledgement for their service to supporting, offering

friendship and learning opportunities to retired men including those with disabilities

in our local community

Two awards events were held - a Community Service Award dinner and the Pride of

Workmanship Awards night which also included dinner. Both events were held at

TreeTops Restaurant Avoca Beach Hotel and Resort and thanks are extended to the

Resort staff.

A nomination was made for the District Vocational Excellence Award and on this

occasion our nominee was not successful.

Club members made excellent suggestions for Vocational visits, and two were

planned. However, due to a crowded program, it was not possible to proceed with

these. One is being considered by the incoming Committee.
