Annual Pride of Workmanship & Community Service Awards
 
Welcome
 
President Jon welcomed members, partners and guests to what is our most important meeting of the year, our Pride of Workmanship and Community Services Awards for 2021/22. He especially welcomed our Award recipients, their guests and special guest Kylea Tink, Member-elect for North Sydney, who presented the awards.
 
Toast
 
Peter Antaw gave a Toast to the Rotary Club of Coonabarabran, the town where Peter was born, as was our special guest tonight, Kylea Tink. The Club has 25 members, and its main fundraiser is from a large shopfront, manned 5.5 days a week, selling and receiving books. It also has a catering trailer. Proceeds go to many projects such as their local Rotary Park and building a school in Vanuatu.

  • The State final of the Rostrum Voice of Youth is to be held this Saturday and those interested in attending should contact Peter Grinter.

NORTHBRIDGE COMMUNITY FIREWORKS RETURN A SUCCESS
Posted by Peter Russell on May 13, 2022
 
Many would have seen the North Shore skyline light up with the Northbridge Rotary Club’s annual community fireworks on the evening of 7 May.  And what a spectacular afternoon and evening of fun, food and entertainment it was. 
 
Well done to all those involved. 
 
The event, attended by some 4,000 people, raised close to $50,000 which the Northbridge Rotary Club will use to support a range of worthy charities and causes. 
 
Our special thanks to Willoughby  City Council and to Northbridge Plaza for what is now our 30th year of joint partnership with them for this event. Northbridge Rotary Club President, John Gidney, is photographed presenting a plaque to the Plaza management commemorating this achievement.

THE 4 - WAY TEST of the things we say or do

1). Is it the TRUTH?

2). Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3). Will it build GOODWILL & BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4). Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
