Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin PRESIDENT'S PAGE
I have the pleasure of representing our club as president for 2009-2010. My professional background has been in accounting and audit in the Canberra region since 1979. I joined this Club in 2004 with the encouragement of my colleagues and friends. I have enjoyed every minute of my life with Canberra Burley Griffin.
Our club comprises approximately 36 members from a wide range of professions. Each member shoulders an equal share of responsibility for the numerous projects we conduct. This year, I have been proud to see our club continue to achieve substantial results, particularly in the fields of community and international service. Some of our programs have included:
- Rotary Foundation and Shelter Box Australia
- West Timor: village and school improvement
- Angus Downs (indigenous project
- Twinning agreement with Nara Rotary Club, Japan and Kupang, West Timor, and recently Krakow Poland.
- Pegasus Riding for the Disabled
- High School business education / Australian Business Week
There are many more programs that I could mention, if space allowed. These are covered in the Committee's sections on this site.
I extend to you a cordial invitation to visit our club and learn more about the worldwide programs of Rotary and in particular the Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin.
