Message from our President

 
Wednesday’s evening meeting was a huge success, with the students excelling with delicious canapes and service, with comments from the attendees of “definitely five star”.
Our speaker, Dominic Saporito from Mentor Match was engaging, sharing a wonderful idea whereby his company together with Rotary will mentor International Students. This is a great opportunity for Rotary to be seen participating in the community as we help these young people experience Melbourne and Australian family life.
In last week’s Bulletin I showcased the Community Committee achievements over the last nine months of the Rotary year, this week we celebrate what the Vocational Committee’s has done.
