On this page, I have posted the guidelines for the Awards and photos of prior events.
This year, we have adopted a much simpler nomination process that provided an automated confirmation to both the Nominator and Nominee. Also, nominations will be accepted from Rotarians and community members as well as Employers. The online form uses JotForm and I borrowed the format from the Rotary Club of Cowra.

Thanks so much for your great efforts today. Amazing job even with my muddle headedness! Hopefully I haven't missed anyone? Duncan, please thank the boys - well done them.
We got it done in half the time I thought it might take.
Special thanks to John Arena for delicious morning tea and the forklift - it made it so much easier.
Great work John. And to Des - I knew his experience in packing containers at DIK would come in handy. I've SMS'd the Rugby Club guys separately. Peter C and Russell are going to send photos.
Hopefully next time we have a dry site to work with.
I have sent off to Julie Tyers today 124 pairs of non prescribed sunglasses in 3 boxes. I am happy to cover the cost unless our Treasurer wants me to handle it for the books in some other way.
We may get more non prescribed sunglasses and it would be good to get to 200.
Bruce is going to work on his retirement village, Mordialloc RC are sending out a request, and I am attempting to canvass some former colleagues.
Still we could get some from Bruce’s favourite Bus Company.
Is someone able to canvas central post offices, Lost and Found offices at Police Stations or stations ? There’s a Go! What do you reckon?
And thanks to our members who donated 17 of the glasses. Fareshare with 700 volunteers made a terrific effort with 107.
Bob Allardice (B3) is scheduled for a major operation early April. He will hopefully only be out of admin action for a few weeks - physical work will be much longer!
He needs someone else trained in doing the plans, both to cover April but also in the longer term - preferably an engineer or other technical type with an eye on both dismantling and
re-installation requirements. A bit of skill with PowerPoint will also be very helpful.
It will only take a few hours to get the hang of it.
