Congratulations Gordon!
Our Golf Day Committee Convenor, Gordon Hamilton received a surprise recognition at our Changeover Dinner. In recognition of the outstanding devotion that Gordon has applied to our Golf Day, he was recognised as a Paul Harris Fellow. His three sons were honoured to accompany their father for the presentation.
If you're outside of Rotary, you might not fully appreciate what this means - it's a big deal. Paul Harris was the founder of our organisation in 1905 in Chicago, and after his death in 1947 funds began to flow into The Rotary Foundation (our global humanitarian charity) in his name.
A Paul Harris Fellow is an individual who contributes US$1,000 or more to The Rotary Foundation's Annual Fund or other approved programs, or a person who has had that amount contributed in their name. Many clubs choose to honour the efforts of members by paying US$1,000 into The Rotary Foundation and offering Paul Harris recognition in this way.
Bernadette, or as we like to call her, Bernie has a family of three children, three stepchildren and 15 grandchildren. You'll have to read on to learn more about her family.
Her time with Rotary goes way back to Toowoomba South & Mareeba. She has been part of the Rotary Club of Caloundra family since June 2004 and most recently and formally as one of our Rotarians, having been inducted as a member in February 2014.
Bernie assumed her official role as President for 2018-19 today (1 July).
Bernadette worked as a Customer Service Officer with Bendigo Bank for approximately seven years and with husband, Ron was instrumental in raising community awareness and setting up the Caloundra Community Bank that has now been operating for 10 years.
Her decision to retire in 2008 prompted her to become more involved in the Community and she is a member of the Caloundra Community Bank where she served on the Board from 2011 to 2017, Company secretary from 2014 to 2017, AICD Directors Course, Caloundra Regional Gallery, Australian Pensioners and Superannuants League, Vietnam Veterans of the Sunshine Coast, and T A P P.
Caloundra Rotary members are always looking for ways to be involved in our local Caloundra community in order to assist others. Share your ideas with us.
We also look to improve lives in communities around the world.
A list of our current projects may be viewed here. They could total $70,000 but that is a guess. In addition, we have ongoing commitments to causes we support of about $25,000.
That is an impressive story for People of Action in Caloundra Rotary. We hope you agree?
