Rotary International Student Exchange Program Congratulations to Tara, our outbound exchange student.  Tara, along with the other Rotary District 9820 students received their blazers, badges and other goodies at a briefing on Saturday 8 December, in Mornington. Proud families and Rotarians heard their presentations and their hopes for the coming year. Tara will be a great ambassador for not only our club, but for Rotary International and Australia, during her year living in America. Rotary Youth Science Forum (RYSF) .jpg) Our sponsored student, Upani Mapala-Gamez, has now received her draft itinery and travel details for the National Youth Science Forum, to be held in Brisbane from 9 - 20 January 2019.
She expects to receive the final information next week and is really looking forward to the experience. We will have a presentation from Upani early next year about her experience in the program and its' outcomes. Berwick & District Benevolent Society On Sunday 9 December, David Collyer, Bob Lay AM and Sam McCurdy attended a service at the Cardinia Presbyterian Church. .jpg) The small church was packed for the service, which had a Christmas theme. The congregation support the "Society's" community activities by providing a generous donation at this time each year. This year was no exception with David being presented with a donation of approximately $1,850. In response, David thanked the congregation for their generousity and continued support. 2019 Multi-District Conference Registrations for the first ever Victorian Multi-District Conference are going well. There are 4 Districts represented and over 1,000 Rotarians going, so that has to be an opportunity to network, inspire and connect! The conference will be held at the Melbourne Convention Centre from 15-17 February 2019 and the provisional program is provided below.
