Patrick Roberts and Marilyn Phillips. Another fabulous Annual Citizenship Ceremony that we must thank you for. It was months in the planning with countless emails and documentation but all 12 Citizenship recipients, their family and friends, all our members and friends congratulate you on an especially happy and memorable celebration.
Special thanks go to Ms Alison Byrnes MP, Federal Member for Cunningham and Lord Mayor Councillor Tania Brown for their presence and warm and welcoming manner when officiating at the ceremony.
Thank you also to our recently retired RCL Margaret Uitterlinden. It was a pleasure to have your company on the night. You have always been a very active and thoughtful Rotarian.
Dr Kevin Wanambiro’s talk was wonderful as was Ken Potter’s poem.
Of course, an event like that has many helpers so I won’t elaborate here but thank you all and thank you to all our members and friends who supported the special occasion with your presence.
Now tonight enjoy the well-earned drinks!
Cheers,
President Rose
